Dissipation of the sectored heliospheric magnetic field near the heliopause: a mechanism for the generation of anomalous cosmic rays
J. F. Drake, M. Opher, M. Swisdak +1
The recent observations of the anomalous cosmic ray (ACR) energy spectrum as Voyagers 1 and 2 crossed the heliospheric termination shock have called into question the conventional…

A Statistical Model of Magnetic Islands in a Large Current Layer
R. L. Fermo, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
We develop a statistical model describing the dynamics of magnetic islands in very large current layers that develop in space plasma. Two parameters characterize the island distrib…

Nonlinear Development of Streaming Instabilities In Strongly Magnetized Plasmas
H. Che, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak +1
The nonlinear development of streaming instabilities in the current layers formed during magnetic reconnection with a guide field is explored. Theory and 3-D particle-in-cell simul…
