Particle acceleration in asymmetric magnetic reconnection
When
-
Abstract: Magnetic reconnection in asymmetric environments such as the solar corona and Earth’s magnetosphere exhibits distinct particle acceleration behavior compared to symmetric cases, due to differences in plasma density and magnetic field across the current sheet. Using 3D hybrid and particle-in-cell simulations, we explore how this asymmetry influences particle acceleration. We find that increasing asymmetry leads to a systematic reduction in particle acceleration efficiency.
2025 Physics and Quantum Career & Internship Fair
When
-
The Department of Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder in collaboration with CUbit and JILA is hosting the third annual Physics and Quantum Career & Internship Fair on Friday, October 17th from 12:00 - 3:00 p.m. in the Glenn Miller Ballroom.
This event will feature employers across all areas of theoretical, experimental, and computational physics. The fair will connect physics undergraduate and graduate students and recent alumni with laboratory and industry leaders to learn about internships and employment opportunities.
