磁気島の爆発的合体過程の粒子加速

Abstract

An explosive reconnection process associated with the nonlinear evolution of the coalescence instability is found through studies of the electromagnetic particle simulation. The explosive coalescence is a process of magnetic collapse, in which we find the magnetic and electrostatic field energies and temperatures (ion temperature in the coalescing direction, in particular) explode toward the explosion time to as (t_0 - t)^, (t_0 - t)^, and (t_0 - t)^, respectively.Single-peak, double-peak, and triple-peak structures of magnetic energy, temperature, and electrostatic energy, respectively, are observed on the simulatton as overshoot amplitude oscillations and these features are theoretically explained. Rapid acceleration of particles binormal to the magnetic field and electric field becomes possible
