H. Takahashi, E. Asano, R. Matsumoto Chiba Unv. Japan Particle Acceleration by Relativistic Expansion of Magnetic Arcades shock current sheet Asano et al. (P12)
Simulation Model of Particle Accelerations 2-dim. Paritcle-In-Cell (PIC) simulation • Mikic Model extended into relativistic plasma • (NX,NY)=(200,1600) Assumption • elecron-positron plasma • collisionless • Plasma density is slightly larger than Goldreich-Julian density Initial Model constructed by Mikic(‘88) Bz : toroidal components Bx,By: poloidal components
2.5-dimensional PIC Simulation: Result Tg=90.0 Tg=237.5 color: Bz line: field line color: density line: field line color: Bz line: field line ExB drift motion leads to charge deficiency in the arcades. Magnetic reconnections take place inside the expanding arcades.
