Future Physics Programme of BESIII
M. Ablikim, M. N. Achasov, P. Adlarson +482
There has recently been a dramatic renewal of interest in the subjects of hadron spectroscopy and charm physics. This renaissance has been driven in part by the discovery of a plet…
Energy Dissipation and Entropy in Collisionless Plasma
Senbei Du, Gary P. Zank, Fan Guo +1
It is well known that collisionless systems are dissipation free from the perspective of particle collision and thus conserve entropy. On the other hand, processes such as magnetic…
The Critical Role of Collisionless Plasma Energization on the Structure of Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Yi-Hsin Liu, Shan-Chang Lin, Michael Hesse +4
During magnetically dominated relativistic reconnection, inflowing plasma depletes the initial relativistic pressure at the x-line and collisionless plasma heating inside the diffu…
Heating of Heavy Ions in Low-beta Compressible Turbulence
Xiangrong Fu, Fan Guo, Hui Li +1
Enhancement of minor ions such as He and heavy ions in flare-associated solar energetic particle (SEP) events remains one of the major puzzles in heliophysics. In this work, we…
Formation of Power-law Electron Energy Spectra in Three-dimensional Low- Magnetic Reconnection
Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo, Hui Li +2
While observations have suggested that power-law electron energy spectra are a common outcome of strong energy release during magnetic reconnection, e.g., in solar flares, kinetic…
Time-step dependent force interpolation scheme for suppressing numerical Cherenkov instability in relativistic particle-in-cell simulations
Yingchao Lu, Patrick Kilian, Fan Guo +2
The WT scheme, a piecewise polynomial force interpolation scheme with time-step dependency, is proposed in this paper for relativistic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The WT sc…
An \mathcal{O}(N) Maxwell solver with improved numerical dispersion properties
Yingchao Lu, Chengkun Huang, Patrick Kilian +3
A Maxwell solver derived from finite element method with \mathcal{O}(N) computing cost is developed to improve the numerical dispersion properties in relativistic particle-in-cell…
The Acceleration of Energetic Particles at Coronal Shocks and Emergence of a Double Power Law Feature in Particle Energy Spectra
Xiangliang Kong, Fan Guo, Yao Chen +1
We present numerical modelling of particle acceleration at coronal shocks propagating through a streamer-like magnetic field by solving the Parker transport equation with spatial d…
Particle acceleration in kinetic simulations of non-relativistic magnetic reconnection with different ion-electron mass ratio
Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo, Hui Li
By means of fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations, we study whether the proton-to-electron mass ratio influences the energy spectrum and underlying acceleration mech…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Probing Magnetic Reconnection in Solar Flares - New Perspectives from Radio Dynamic Imaging Spectroscopy
Bin Chen, Tim Bastian, Joel Dahlin +9
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process in many laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasma contexts. Solar flares serve as an outstanding laboratory to study the m…
Neutrinos, Cosmic Rays and the MeV Band
R. Ojha, H. Zhang, M. Kadler +23
The possible association of the blazar TXS 0506+056 with a high-energy neutrino detected by IceCube holds the tantalizing potential to answer three astrophysical questions: 1. Wher…
High-Energy Polarimetry - a new window to probe extreme physics in AGN jets
B. Rani, H. Zhang, S. D. Hunter +31
The constantly improving sensitivity of ground-based and space-borne observatories has made possible the detection of high-energy emission (X-rays and gamma-rays) from several thou…
Determining the Dominant Acceleration Mechanism during Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection in Large-scale Systems
Fan Guo, Xiaocan Li, William Daughton +5
While a growing body of research indicates that relativistic magnetic reconnection is a prodigious source of particle acceleration in high-energy astrophysical systems, the dominan…
