Particle Acceleration by Pickup Process Upstream of Relativistic Shocks
Masanori Iwamoto, Takanobu Amano, Yosuke Matsumoto +2
Particle acceleration at magnetized purely perpendicular relativistic shocks in electron-ion plasmas are studied by means of two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. Magnetize…
Electron Acceleration at Rippled Low-Mach-number Shocks in High-beta Collisionless Cosmic Plasmas
Oleh Kobzar, Jacek Niemiec, Takanobu Amano +4
Using large-scale fully-kinetic two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, we investigate the effects of shock rippling on electron acceleration at low-Mach-number shocks propag…
Mildly relativistic magnetized shocks in electron-ion plasmas -- II. Particle acceleration and heating
Arianna Ligorini, Jacek Niemiec, Oleh Kobzar +7
Particle acceleration and heating at mildly relativistic magnetized shocks in electron-ion plasma are investigated with unprecedentedly high-resolution two-dimensional particle-in-…
Mildly relativistic magnetized shocks in electron-ion plasmas I. Electromagnetic shock structure
Arianna Ligorini, Jacek Niemiec, Oleh Kobzar +8
Mildly relativistic shocks in magnetized electron-ion plasmas are investigated with 2D kinetic particle-in-cell simulations of unprecedentedly high resolution and large scale for c…
Cyclotron resonant interactions in cosmic particle accelerators
T. Terasawa, S. Matsukiyo
A review is given for cyclotron resonant interactions in space plasmas. After giving a simple formulation for the test particle approach, illustrative examples for resonant interac…
Relativistic Electron Shock Drift Acceleration in Low Mach Number Galaxy Cluster Shocks
Shuichi Matsukiyo, Yutaka Ohira, Ryo Yamazaki +1
An extreme case of electron shock drift acceleration in low Mach number collisionless shocks is investigated as a plausible mechanism of initial acceleration of relativistic electr…
