Energy Partition of Thermal and Nonthermal Particles in Magnetic Reconnection
Masahiro Hoshino
Magnetic reconnection has long been known to be the most important mechanism as quick conversion of magnetic field energy into plasma kinetic energy. In addition, energy dissipatio…
Nonthermal Electron Acceleration at Collisionless Quasi-perpendicular Shocks
T. Amano, Y. Matsumoto, A. Bohdan +6
Shock waves propagating in collisionless heliospheric and astrophysical plasmas have been studied extensively over the decades. One prime motivation is to understand the nonthermal…
Efficiency of Nonthermal Particle Acceleration in Magnetic Reconnection
Masahiro Hoshino
The nonthermal particle acceleration during magnetic reconnection remains a fundamental topic in several astrophysical phenomena, such as solar flares, pulsar wind, magnetars, etc,…
Theory of Electron Injection at Oblique Shock of Finite Thickness
Takanobu Amano, Masahiro Hoshino
A theory of electron injection into diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) for the generation of cosmic-ray electrons at collisionless shocks is presented. We consider a recently propo…
Particle Acceleration by Pickup Process Upstream of Relativistic Shocks
Masanori Iwamoto, Takanobu Amano, Yosuke Matsumoto +2
Particle acceleration at magnetized purely perpendicular relativistic shocks in electron-ion plasmas are studied by means of two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. Magnetize…
Electron Acceleration at Rippled Low-Mach-number Shocks in High-beta Collisionless Cosmic Plasmas
Oleh Kobzar, Jacek Niemiec, Takanobu Amano +4
Using large-scale fully-kinetic two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, we investigate the effects of shock rippling on electron acceleration at low-Mach-number shocks propag…
