Non linear particle acceleration at non-relativistic shock waves in the presence of self-generated turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Particle acceleration at astrophysical shocks may be very efficient if magnetic scattering is self-generated by the same particles. This nonlinear process adds to the nonlinear modification of the shock due to the dynamical reaction of the accelerated ...

Particle Injection and Nonthermal Particle Acceleration in Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Magnetic reconnection in the relativistic regime has been proposed as an important process for the efficient production of nonthermal particles and high-energy emission. Using fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations, we investigate how the guide-field

Investigation on ultralight particle dispersions in dense two-phase flow using a kinetic friction stress model

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2021
The graphite particle dispersion characteristics with irregular shapes of dense gas-solid turbulent flow in downer reactor is numerically investigated using an improved kinetic friction stress model and a adopted drag coefficient describing momentum ...

Persistent accelerations disentangle Lagrangian turbulence

open access: yes, 2019
Particles in turbulence frequently encounter extreme accelerations between extended periods of quiescence. The occurrence of extreme events is closely related to the intermittent spatial distribution of intense flow structures such as vorticity filaments.

A Multi-Event Study of Early-Stage SEP Acceleration by CME-Driven Shocks—Sun to 1 AU

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
The solar corona between below 10 solar radii is an important region for early acceleration and transport of solar energetic particles (SEPs) by coronal mass ejection-driven shock waves.

Particle Acceleration in Mildly Relativistic Shearing Flows: the Interplay of Systematic and Stochastic Effects, and the Origin of the Extended High-energy Emission in AGN Jets

open access: yes, 2017
The origin of the extended X-ray emission in the large-scale jets of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) poses challenges to conventional models of acceleration and emission. Although the electron synchrotron radiation is considered the most feasible radiation

Particle resonances and trapping of direct laser acceleration in a laser-plasma channel

open access: yesPhysical Review Accelerators and Beams, 2021
As one of the leading acceleration mechanisms in laser-driven underdense plasmas, direct laser acceleration (DLA) is capable of producing high-energy-density electron beams in a plasma channel for many applications.

Relativistic Shocks: Particle Acceleration and Magnetization

open access: yes, 2015
We review the physics of relativistic shocks, which are often invoked as the sources of non-thermal particles in pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets, and as possible sources of ultra-high energy ...

Cosmic ray diffusive acceleration at shock waves with finite upstream and downstream escape boundaries [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
In the present paper we discuss the modifications introduced into the first-order Fermi shock acceleration process due to a finite extent of diffusive regions near the shock or due to boundary conditions leading to an increased particle escape upstream ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)
