Electron and ion energization in relativistic plasma turbulence
Vladimir Zhdankin, Dmitri A. Uzdensky, Gregory R. Werner +1
Electron and ion energization (i.e., heating and nonthermal acceleration) is a fundamental, but poorly understood, outcome of plasma turbulence. In this work, we present new result…
System-size convergence of nonthermal particle acceleration in relativistic plasma turbulence
Vladimir Zhdankin, Dmitri A. Uzdensky, Gregory R. Werner +1
We apply collisionless particle-in-cell simulations of relativistic pair plasmas to explore whether driven turbulence is a viable high-energy astrophysical particle accelerator. We…
Particle acceleration in relativistic magnetic reconnection with strong inverse-Compton cooling in pair plasmas
Gregory R. Werner, Alexander A. Philippov, Dmitri A. Uzdensky
Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations have shown that relativistic collisionless magnetic reconnection drives nonthermal particle acceleration (NTPA), potentially explaining high-ener…
