Kinetic Simulations of Cosmic-Ray-Modified Shocks II: Particle Spectra (2020)
D. Caprioli, C. C. Haggerty & P. Blasi Abstract: Diffusive shock acceleration is a prominent mechanism for producing energetic particles in space and in astrophysical systems. Such energetic particles have long been predicted to affect the hydrodynamic structure...
Kinetic Simulations of Cosmic-Ray-Modified Shocks I: Hydrodynamics (2020)
C. C. Haggerty and D. Caprioli Abstract: Collisionless plasma shocks are efficient sources of non-thermal particle acceleration in space and astrophysical systems. We use hybrid (kinetic ions – fluid electrons) simulations to examine the nonlinear feedback of the...
dHybridR: a Hybrid–Particle-in-Cell Code Including Relativistic Ion Dynamics (2019)
C. C. Haggerty and D. Caprioli Abstract: We present the first plasma simulations obtained with the code dHybridR, a hybrid particle-in-cell code with fluid electrons and kinetic relativistic ions. dHybridR is perfectly suited for all the astrophysical and...

The reduction of magnetic reconnection outflow jets to sub-alfvnic speeds (2018)
C.C. Haggerty, M.A. Shay, A. Chasapis, T. D. Phan, J.F. Drake, K. Malakit, P.A. Cassak, and R. Kieokaew Abstract: The outflow velocity of jets produced by collisionless magnetic reconnection is shown to be reduced by the ion exhaust temperature in simulations and...
Exploring the statistics of magnetic reconnection x-points in kinetic particle-in-cell turbulence (2017)
C. C. Haggerty, T. N. Parashar, W. H. Matthaeus, M. A. Shay, Y. Yang, M. Wan, P. Wu, and S. Servidio Abstract: Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous phenomenon in turbulent plasmas. It is an important part of the turbulent dynamics and heating of space and...
Kinetic signatures of the region surrounding the x line in asymmetric (magnetopause) reconnection (2016)
M.A. Shay, T.D. Phan, C.C. Haggerty, M. Fujimoto, J.F. Drake, K. Malakit, P.A. Cassak, and M. Swisdak Abstract: Kinetic particle‐in‐cell simulations are used to identify signatures of the electron diffusion region (EDR) and its surroundings during asymmetric magnetic...
The competition of electron and ion heating during magnetic reconnection (2015)
C.C. Haggerty, M.A. Shay, J.F. Drake, T.D. Phan, C.T. McHugh Abstract: The physical processes that control the partition of released magnetic energy between electrons and ions during reconnection is explored through particle‐in‐cell simulations and analytical...
