Sub-ion scale current sheets in kinetic Alfvén wave turbulence
Johan Sharma, Ch Akshath Kumar, Kirit D. Makwana +2
3D kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are performed using the kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) eigenvector relations from a two-fluid model as initial conditions, in order to stu…

Energy conversion and scaling analysis of relativistic magnetic reconnection
Harihar Pradhan, Kirit D Makwana, Bart Ripperda
Relativistic magnetic reconnection is a key process for accelerating charged particles and producing high-energy radiation. We study this process using relativistic resistive magne…
