AI总结:

本评论通过模拟分析质疑S22关于E>B区域主导粒子注入加速的结论,指出其贡献微小且排除程序有误,E>B区域并非预加速的关键。

摘要:

最近,Sironi(PRL, 128, 145102; S22)报道了在相对论性磁重联的动力学模拟中,被加速到高能的粒子与其穿越电场大于磁场区域(E>B区域)之间的相关性。他们声称,在E>B区域(对于消失的引导场)中的电场主导了将粒子加速到注入能量的过程。S22展示了测试粒子模拟,表明如果在E>B区域将粒子能量重置为低能量,则有效的注入会被抑制。本评论通过分析一个类似于S22中参考案例的模拟来重新审视这些主张。我们表明,在穿越期间,E>B加速仅对注入能量贡献了一小部分,因为E>B区域仅承载粒子很短的时间。在任何E>B穿越之前的能量增加具有相当的贡献,表明E>B区域在预加速粒子方面并不独特。一项新的测试粒子模拟表明,将E>B区域中的电场置零并不会强烈影响注入。我们认为,S22中用于排除E>B加速的程序部分地移除了E>B区域之外的加速,导致了错误的结论。

英文摘要:

Recently, Sironi (PRL, 128, 145102; S22) reported the correlation between particles accelerated into high energy and their crossings of regions with electric field larger than magnetic field (E>B regions) in kinetic simulations of relativistic magnetic reconnection. They claim that electric fields in E>B regions (for a vanishing guide field) dominate in accelerating particles to the injection energy. S22 presented test-particle simulations showing that if particle energies are reset to low energies in E>B regions, efficient injection is suppressed. This Comment re-examines these claims by analyzing a simulation resembling the reference case in S22. We show that during crossings E>B acceleration only contributes a small fraction to the injection energy as E>B regions only host particles for a short duration. The energization before any E>B crossings has a comparable contribution, indicating E>B regions are not unique in pre-accelerating particles. A new test-particle simulation shows that zero-outing electric fields in E>B regions does not strongly influence the injection. We suggest that the procedure used in S22 to exclude E>B acceleration partly removes acceleration outside E>B regions, leading to a false conclusion.
