Abstract: Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations have shown that relativistic collisionless magnetic reconnection drives nonthermal particle acceleration (NTPA), potentially explaining high-energy (X-ray/$\gamma$-ray) synchrotron and/or inverse Compton (IC) radiation observed from various astrophysical sources. The radiation back-reaction force on… read more here.

Abstract: Cosmic rays interacting with gas and photon fields in the Galaxy produce interstellar gamma-ray emission (IGE), which accounts for almost 50% of the photons detected at gamma-ray energies. Models of this IGE have to be… read more here.
