The Adiabatic Phase Mixing and Heating of Electrons in Buneman Turbulence
H. Che, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak +1
The nonlinear development of the strong Buneman instability and the associated fast electron heating in thin current layers with are explored. Phase mixing of the e…
The power-law spectra of energetic particles during multi-island magnetic reconnection
J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak, R. L. Fermo
Power-law distributions are a near universal feature of energetic particle spectra in the heliosphere. Anomalous Cosmic Rays (ACRs), super-Alfvénic ions in the solar wind and the h…
Scaling of the growth rate of magnetic islands in the heliosheath
K. M. Schoeffler, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
Current sheets thinner than the ion inertial length are unstable to the tearing instability and will develop magnetic islands that grow due to magnetic reconnection. We investigate…
Suppression of energetic electron transport in flares by double layers
T. C. Li, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
During flares and coronal mass ejections, energetic electrons from coronal sources typically have very long lifetimes compared to the transit times across the systems, suggesting c…
