A comprehensive comparison of relativistic particle integrators
Bart Ripperda, Fabio Bacchini, Jannis Teunissen +5
We compare relativistic particle integrators commonly used in plasma physics showing several test cases relevant for astrophysics. Three explicit particle pushers are considered, n…

Reconnection and particle acceleration in interacting flux ropes -- II. 3D effects on test particles in magnetically dominated plasmas
B. Ripperda, O. Porth, C. Xia +1
We analyze particle acceleration in explosive reconnection events in magnetically dominated proton-electron plasmas. Reconnection is driven by large-scale magnetic stresses in inte…
