Magnetic reconnection is a primary driver of particle acceleration processes in space and
astrophysical plasmas. Understanding how particles are accelerated and the resulting …

In solar flares and other astrophysical systems, a major challenge for solving the particle
acceleration problem associated with magnetic reconnection is the enormous scale …

Context. Twisted coronal loops should be ubiquitous in the solar corona. Twisted magnetic
fields contain excess magnetic energy, which can be released during magnetic …

This paper employs an MHD-PIC method to perform numerical simulations of magnetic-
reconnection-driven turbulence and turbulent reconnection acceleration of particles …

Photospheric motions may lead to twisted coronal magnetic fields which contain free energy
that can be released by reconnection. Browning & Van der Linden suggested that such a …

Astrophysical fluids have very large Reynolds numbers and therefore turbulence is their
natural state. Magnetic reconnection is an important process in many astrophysical plasmas …

We investigate the electron acceleration by magnetic gradient and curvature drift effects in
cascading magnetic reconnection of a coronal current sheet via a test particle method in the …

We present a numerical implementation of the guiding center approximation to describe the
relativistic motion of charged test particles in the PLUTO code for astrophysical plasma …

A fundamental problem of forced magnetic reconnection has been solved taking into
account the plasmoid instability of thin reconnecting current sheets. In this problem, the …

We investigate electron acceleration by electric fields induced by cascading reconnections
in current sheets trailing coronal mass ejections via a test particle approach in the framework …
