Stochastic Electron Acceleration by the Whistler Instability in a Growing Magnetic Field
Mario Riquelme, Alvaro Osorio, Eliot Quataert
We use 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations to study the effect of the saturated whistler instability on the viscous heating and nonthermal acceleration of electrons in a shearing…

PIC Simulations of Velocity-Space Instabilities in a Decreasing Magnetic Field: Viscosity and Thermal Conduction
Mario Riquelme, Eliot Quataert, Daniel Verscharen
We use particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of a collisionless, electron-ion plasma with a decreasing background magnetic field, , to study the effect of velocity-space instabilit…
