Recent Progress on Particle Acceleration and Reconnection Physics during Magnetic Reconnectionin the Magnetically-dominated Relativistic Regime
Fan Guo, Yi-Hsin Liu, Xiaocan Li +3
Magnetic reconnection in strongly magnetized astrophysical plasma environments is believed to be the primary process for fast energy release and particle energization. Currently th…
Exploring the acceleration mechanisms for particle injection and power-law formation during trans-relativistic magnetic reconnection
Patrick Kilian, Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo +1
Magnetic reconnection in the relativistic and trans-relativistic regimes is able to accelerate particles to hard power law energy spectra (approaching ). Th…
Energy Dissipation and Entropy in Collisionless Plasma
Senbei Du, Gary P. Zank, Fan Guo +1
It is well known that collisionless systems are dissipation free from the perspective of particle collision and thus conserve entropy. On the other hand, processes such as magnetic…
The Critical Role of Collisionless Plasma Energization on the Structure of Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Yi-Hsin Liu, Shan-Chang Lin, Michael Hesse +4
During magnetically dominated relativistic reconnection, inflowing plasma depletes the initial relativistic pressure at the x-line and collisionless plasma heating inside the diffu…
Heating of Heavy Ions in Low-beta Compressible Turbulence
Xiangrong Fu, Fan Guo, Hui Li +1
Enhancement of minor ions such as He and heavy ions in flare-associated solar energetic particle (SEP) events remains one of the major puzzles in heliophysics. In this work, we…
Formation of Power-law Electron Energy Spectra in Three-dimensional Low- Magnetic Reconnection
Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo, Hui Li +2
While observations have suggested that power-law electron energy spectra are a common outcome of strong energy release during magnetic reconnection, e.g., in solar flares, kinetic…
