Electron Shock Surfing Acceleration in Multidimensions: Two-dimensional Particle-In-Cell Simulation of Collisionless Perpendicular Shock
Takanobu Amano, Masahiro Hoshino
Electron acceleration mechanism at high Mach number collisionless shocks propagating in a weakly magnetized medium is investigated by a self-consistent two-dimensional particle-in-…
Wakefield Acceleration by Radiation Pressure in Relativistic Shock Waves
Masahiro Hoshino
A particle acceleration mechanism by radiation pressure of precursor waves in a relativistic shock is studied. For a relativistic, perpendicular shock with the upstream bulk Lorent…
Electron Injection at High Mach Number Quasi-Perpendicular Shocks : Surfing and Drift Acceleration
T. Amano, M. Hoshino
Electron injection process at high Mach number collisionless quasi-perpendicular shock waves is investigated by means of one-dimensional electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulation…
Electron Surfing Acceleration in Magnetic Reconnection
Masahiro Hoshino
We discuss that energetic electrons are generated near the X-type magnetic reconnection region due to a surfing acceleration mechanism. In a thin plasma sheet, the polarization ele…
GEOTAIL observation of the SGR1806-20 Giant Flare: The first 600 ms
Toshio Terasawa, Yasuyuki Tanaka, Yasuhiro Takei +14
On December 27, 2004, plasma particle detectors on the GEOTAIL spacecraft detected an extremely strong signal of hard X-ray photons from the giant flare of SGR1806-20, a magnetar c…
Relativistic Particle Acceleration in a Folded Current Sheet
S. Zenitani, M. Hoshino
Two-dimensional particle simulations of a relativistic Harris current sheet of pair plasmashave demonstrated that the system is unstable to the relativistic drift kink instability…
