Are regions essential for particle injection in relativistic magnetic reconnection?
Omar French, Fan Guo, Xiaocan Li +4
During relativistic magnetic reconnection, X-points ( regions at vanishing guide field) have been proposed to play an essential role in injecting particles into the nonthermal…
Effects of Coulomb Collisions on the Structures of Fast Magnetosonic Shocks
Michael B. Farnell, Fan Guo, Yi-Hsin Liu +1
We present fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations to demonstrate qualitative effects of binary Coulomb collisions on fast magnetosonic shocks. We find that with sufficiently hi…
The FLARE Facility
Hantao Ji, Jongsoo Yoo, Peiyun Shi +53
The Facility for Laboratory Reconnection Experiments (FLARE) has been constructed to study magnetic reconnection in multiple X-line regimes relevant to space, astrophysical, and fu…
Plasma Flow Generation and Particle Acceleration from Expanding Magnetic Bubbles
Yang Zhang, Brandon K. Russell, Geoffrey Pomraning +9
Impulsive plasma dynamics in the laboratory are often driven by rising electric currents, yet their quantitative plasma response has not been well established. By means of fully ki…
On the Nature of Candle-Flame-Shaped Solar Flares and Sub-Alfvénic Supra-Arcade Plasma Downflows
Ivan Oparin, Sabastian Fernandes, Bin Chen +4
Certain solar flares exhibit a distinctive candle-flame or cusp-shaped feature above the bright flare arcade visible in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray channels sensitive to hi…
The Role of Magnetic Reconnection in Energizing Protons and Heavier Ions at the Heliospheric Current Sheet
Giulia Murtas, Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo +3
During near-Sun crossings of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS), Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed populations of high-energy protons and heavier ions indicating possible energiz…
