Three-dimensional relativistic pair plasma reconnection with radiative feedback in the Crab Nebula
Benoit Cerutti, Gregory R. Werner, Dmitri A. Uzdensky +1
The discovery of rapid synchrotron gamma-ray flares above 100 MeV from the Crab Nebula has attracted new interest in alternative particle acceleration mechanisms in pulsar wind neb…
Dielectric Laser Acceleration
R. Joel England, Robert J. Noble, Ziran Wu +1
We describe recent advances in the study of particle acceleration using dielectric near-field structures driven by infrared lasers, which we refer to as Dielectric Laser Accelerato…
Origin and reduction of wakefields in photonic crystal accelerator cavities
Carl A. Bauer, Gregory R. Werner, John R. Cary
Photonic crystal (PhC) defect cavities that support an accelerating mode tend to trap unwanted higher-order modes (HOMs) corresponding to zero-group-velocity PhC lattice modes at t…
Simulations of particle acceleration beyond the classical synchrotron burnoff limit in magnetic reconnection: An explanation of the Crab flares
Benoit Cerutti, Gregory R. Werner, Dmitri A. Uzdensky +1
It is generally accepted that astrophysical sources cannot emit synchrotron radiation above 160 MeV in their rest frame. This limit is given by the balance between the accelerating…
A fast multigrid-based electromagnetic eigensolver for curved metal boundaries on the Yee mesh
Carl A. Bauer, Gregory R. Werner, John R. Cary
For embedded boundary electromagnetics using the Dey-Mittra algorithm, a special grad-div matrix constructed in this work allows use of multigrid methods for efficient inversion of…
