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…
Influence of 3D plasmoid dynamics on the transition from collisional to kinetic reconnection
A. Stanier, W. Daughton, A. Le +2
Within the resistive magnetohydrodynamic model, high-Lundquist number reconnection layers are unstable to the plasmoid instability, leading to a turbulent evolution where the recon…
Particle acceleration in kinetic simulations of non-relativistic magnetic reconnection with different ion-electron mass ratio
Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo, Hui Li
By means of fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations, we study whether the proton-to-electron mass ratio influences the energy spectrum and underlying acceleration mech…
