Particle-in-cell Simulations of Global Relativistic Jets with Helical Magnetic Fields
Ioana Duţan, Ken-Ichi Nishikawa, Yosuke Mizuno +11
We study the interaction of relativistic jets with their environment, using 3-dimensional relativistic particle-in-cell simulations for two cases of jet composition: (i) electron-p…
Microscopic Processes in Global Relativistic Jets Containing Helical Magnetic Fields
Ken-Ichi Nishikawa, Yosuke Mizuno, Jacek Niemiec +11
In the study of relativistic jets one of the key open questions is their interaction with the environment on the microscopic level. Here, we study the initial evolution of both ele…
Collisionless electron-ion shocks in relativistic unmagnetized jet-ambient interactions: Non-thermal electron injection by double layer
Kazem Ardaneh, Dongsheng Cai, Ken-Ichi Nishikawa
The course of non-thermal electron ejection in relativistic unmagnetized electron-ion shocks is investigated by performing self-consistent particle-in-cell simulations. The shocks…
Non-relativistic perpendicular shocks modeling young supernova remnants: nonstationary dynamics and particle acceleration at forward and reverse shocks
Volkmar Wieland, Martin Pohl, Jacek Niemiec +2
For parameters that are applicable to the conditions at young supernova remnants, we present results of 2D3V particle-in-cell simulations of a non-relativistic plasma shock with a…
