Particle acceleration in relativistic turbulence: A theoretical appraisal
Camilia Demidem, Martin Lemoine, Fabien Casse
We discuss the physics of stochastic particle acceleration in relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, combining numerical simulations of test-particle acceleration in sy…
Physics of relativistic collisionless shocks: III The suprathermal particles
Martin Lemoine, Guy Pelletier, Arno Vanthieghem +1
In this third paper of a series, we discuss the physics of the population of accelerated particles in the precursor of an unmagnetized, relativistic collisionless pair shock. In pa…
Physics of relativistic collisionless shocks: II Dynamics of the background plasma
M. Lemoine, A. Vanthieghem, G. Pelletier +1
In this second paper of a series, we discuss the dynamics of a plasma entering the precursor of an unmagnetized, relativistic collisionless pair shock. We discuss how this backgrou…
Physics of relativistic collisionless shocks: The scattering center frame
G. Pelletier, L. Gremillet, A. Vanthieghem +1
In this first paper of a series dedicated to the microphysics of unmagnetized, relativistic collisionless pair shocks, we discuss the physics of the Weibel-type transverse current…
Physics of Weibel-mediated relativistic collisionless shocks
M. Lemoine, L. Gremillet, G. Pelletier +1
We develop a comprehensive theoretical model of relativistic collisionless pair shocks mediated by the current filamentation instability. We notably characterize the noninertial fr…
Generalized Fermi acceleration
Martin Lemoine
In highly conducting astrophysical plasmas, charged particles are generically accelerated through Fermi-type processes involving repeated interactions with moving magnetized scatte…
