In situ evidence of ion acceleration between consecutive reconnection jet fronts
Filomena Catapano, Alessandro Retino, Gaetano Zimbardo +21
Processes driven by unsteady reconnection can efficiently accelerate particles in many astrophysical plasmas. An example are the reconnection jet fronts in an outflow region. We pr…

Charge proportional and weakly mass-dependent acceleration of different ion species in the Earth's magnetotail
F. Catapano, G. Zimbardo, S. Perri +4
Energetic particles with energies from tens of keV to a few hundreds keV are frequently observed in the Earth's magnetotail. Here we study, by means of a test particle numerical si…
