Electron Acceleration by Strong DC Electric Fields in Extragalactic Jets
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
Fast magnetic reconnection in extragalactic jets leads to electron acceleration by the DC electric field in the reconnecting current sheet. The maximum electron energy (γ > 106) and the acceleration time (< 106 s) are determined by the magnetic field dynamics in the sheet.
