Turbulence & Instability

[HEDS4-01(Invited)] Relativistic Particle Acceleration from Kinetic Plasma Turbulence and Instabilities

*Vladimir Zhdankin¹ (1. University of Wisconsin-Madison)

I will overview recent numerical results from particle-in-cell simulations of turbulent particle acceleration in relativistic plasmas, with varying parameters and driving mechanisms (including macroscopic instabilities), with relevance to high-energy astrophysical systems.
