Magnetic pumping as a source of particle heating and power-law distributions in the solar wind
E. Lichko, J. Egedal, W. Daughton +1
Based on the rate of expansion of the solar wind, the plasma should cool rapidly as a function of distance to the Sun. Observations show this is not the case. In this work, a magne…
Energy transfer, pressure tensor and heating of kinetic plasma
Y. Yang, W. H. Matthaeus, T. N. Parashar +6
Kinetic plasma turbulence cascade spans multiple scales ranging from macroscopic fluid flow to sub-electron scales. Mechanisms that dissipate large scale energy, terminate the iner…
A model of global magnetic reconnection rate in relativistic collisionless plasmas
Yi-Hsin Liu, Michael Hesse, Fan Guo +2
A model of global magnetic reconnection rate in relativistic collisionless plasmas is developed and validated by the fully kinetic simulation. Through considering the force balance…
Particle Acceleration during Magnetic Reconnection in a Low-beta Pair Plasma
Fan Guo, Hui Li, William Daughton +2
Plasma energization through magnetic reconnection in the magnetically-dominated regime featured by low plasma beta () and/or high magnetization ($σ= B^2/(4 π…
Fluid vs. kinetic magnetic reconnection with strong guide-fields
A. Stanier, Andrei N. Simakov, L. Chacon +1
The fast rates of magnetic reconnection found in both nature and experiments are important to understand theoretically. Recently, it was demonstrated that two-fluid magnetic reconn…
Double layer electric fields aiding the production of energetic flat-top distributions and superthermal electrons within the exhausts from magnetic reconnection
Jan Egedal, William Daughton, Ari Le +1
Using a kinetic simulation of magnetic reconnection it was recently shown that magnetic-field-aligned electric fields (E||) can be present over large spatial scales in reconnection…
