相对论磁重联导致的高能粒子谱中硬幂律的形成

Formation of Hard Power-laws in the Energetic Particle Spectra Resulting from Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection

Fan Guo, Hui Li, William Daughton, Yi-Hsin Liu

摘要:

使用完全动力学模拟,我们证明了相对论等离子体中的磁重联是非常有效的加速粒子通过一阶费米过程导致的曲率漂移的方向上的电场诱导的相对论流动。这种机制导致硬幂律谱的形成在参数制度中的能量密度在重连场超过静止质量能量密度$σ\equiv B^2/(4 πn m_ec^2) > 1$,当系统的大小是足够大的。在极限$σ\gg 1$中,光谱指数接近$p=1$,并且大部分可用能量被转换成非热粒子。提出了一个简单的分析模型,解释了这些关键特征,并预测了硬幂律谱将产生从磁重联的一般条件。

英文摘要:

Using fully kinetic simulations, we demonstrate that magnetic reconnection in relativistic plasmas is highly efficient at accelerating particles through a first-order Fermi process resulting from the curvature drift of particles in the direction of the electric field induced by the relativistic flows. This mechanism gives rise to the formation of hard power-law spectra in parameter regimes where the energy density in the reconnecting field exceeds the rest mass energy density $σ\equiv B^2/(4 πn m_ec^2) > 1$ and when the system size is sufficiently large. In the limit $σ\gg 1$, the spectral index approaches $p=1$ and most of the available energy is converted into non-thermal particles. A simple analytic model is proposed which explains these key features and predicts a general condition under which hard power-law spectra will be generated from magnetic reconnection.
