Distributions of particles accelerated by strong Alfvénic turbulence
Stanislav Boldyrev, Daniel Humphrey, Vadim Roytershteyn +1
This work presents a model for generating nonthermal power-law tails of particles' energy probability density functions in turbulent collisionless plasmas, applicable to both non-r…
Particle acceleration and pitch-angle evolution in relativistic turbulence
Daniel Humphrey, Cristian Vega, Stanislav Boldyrev +1
Synchrotron radiation detected from relativistic astrophysical objects such as pulsar-wind nebulae and {jets from active galactic nuclei} depends on the magnetic fields and the dis…
Anisotropic particle acceleration in Alfvénic turbulence
Cristian Vega, Stanislav Boldyrev, Vadim Roytershteyn
Alfvénic turbulence is an effective mechanism for particle acceleration in strongly magnetized, relativistic plasma. In this study, we investigate a scenario where turbulent plasm…
Particle acceleration in relativistic Alfvénic turbulence
Cristian Vega, Stanislav Boldyrev, Vadim Roytershteyn
Strong magnetically dominated Alfvénic turbulence is an efficient engine of non-thermal particle acceleration in a relativistic collisionless plasma. We argue that in the limit of…
Relativistic Alfvén turbulence at kinetic scales
Cristian Vega, Stanislav Boldyrev, Vadim Roytershteyn
In a strongly magnetized, magnetically dominated relativistic plasma, Alfvénic turbulence can extend to scales much smaller than the particle inertial scales. It leads to an energ…
