Scaling of magnetic reconnection in relativistic collisionless plasmas
Yi-Hsin Liu, Fan Guo, William Daughton +2
Using fully kinetic simulations, we study the scaling of the inflow speed of collisionless magnetic reconnection from the non-relativistic to ultra-relativistic limit. In the anti-…

Formation of Hard Power-laws in the Energetic Particle Spectra Resulting from Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Fan Guo, Hui Li, William Daughton +1
Using fully kinetic simulations, we demonstrate that magnetic reconnection in relativistic plasmas is highly efficient at accelerating particles through a first-order Fermi process…
