Efficient Production of High-energy Nonthermal Particles during Magnetic Reconnection in a Magnetically-dominated Ion-Electron Plasma
Fan Guo, Xiaocan Li, Hui Li +6
Magnetic reconnection is a leading mechanism for dissipating magnetic energy and accelerating nonthermal particles in Poynting-flux dominated flows. In this letter, we investigate…

Orientation of x-lines in asymmetric magnetic reconnection - mass ratio dependency
Yi-Hsin Liu, Michael Hesse, Masha Kuznetsova
Using fully kinetic simulations, we study the x-line orientation of magnetic reconnection in an asymmetric configuration. A spatially localized perturbation is employed to induce a…

Particle Acceleration and Plasma Dynamics during Magnetic Reconnection in the Magnetically-dominated Regime
Fan Guo, Yi-Hsin Liu, William Daughton +1
Magnetic reconnection is thought to be the driver for many explosive phenomena in the universe. The energy release and particle acceleration during reconnection have been proposed…
