Microscopic Processes in Global Relativistic Jets Containing Helical Magnetic Fields

Microscopic Processes in Global Relativistic Jets Containing Helical Magnetic Fields

In the study of relativistic jets one of the key open questions is their interaction with the environment on the microscopic level. Here, we study the initial evolution of both electron–proton ( e − – p + ) and electron–positron ( e ± ) relativistic jets containing helical magnetic...
