Mushroom-instability-driven Magnetic Reconnections in Collisionless Relativistic Jets
We study the kinetic plasma dynamics in collisionless relativistic jets with velocity shear, by carrying out particle-in-cell simulations in the transverse plane of a jet. It is discovered that intermittent magnetic reconnections (MRs) are driven by mushroom instability (MI), which is an important k...
