AI中文摘要：
中子星和黑洞周围强磁化环境中的磁能快速耗散是高能天体物理学的关键开放问题。我们针对磁化正负电子对等离子体中任意偏振的反向传播波碰撞，建立了通用动力学图像，发现磁能可在波交叉时标内耗散。碰撞中会自发违背磁场不变量的两个磁流体力学条件：$I_1\equiv B^2-E^2>0$和$I_2\equiv \mathbf{E}\cdot\mathbf{B}=0$，产生平行电场以屏蔽非零$I_2$且能量损失极少，这与无作用力电动力学描述的演化一致。当磁主导性丧失时，会触发强粒子加速，在波交叉时标内耗散磁能。该动力学过程形成了磁能的快速耗散通道，为高能辐射提供了动力学途径。
英文摘要：
Rapid dissipation of magnetic energy in highly magnetized environments around neutron stars and black holes is a key open question in high-energy astrophysics. We develop a general kinetic picture of counter-propagating wave collisions in magnetized pair plasmas for arbitrary polarizations and find that magnetic energy can be dissipated on the wave-crossing timescale. The two magnetohydrodynamical conditions on the field invariants, $I_1\equiv B^2-E^2>0$ and $I_2\equiv \mathbf{E}\cdot\mathbf{B}=0$, can be spontaneously violated during the collision. Parallel electric fields develop to screen nonzero $I_2$ with little energy loss, consistent with the evolution described by Force-Free Electrodynamics. When magnetic dominance is lost, strong particle energization is triggered, dissipating magnetic energy on the wave-crossing timescale. This dynamical process yields a rapid dissipation channel of magnetic energy and provides a kinetic pathway to high-energy emission.
