Hybrid simulations of the ion Weibel instability require a minimum grid resolution that scales with Alfvénic Mach number to correctly reproduce magnetic-field growth and saturation without introducing unphysical whistler modes.
Entity PIC code updated with up to 11th-order current deposit and generalized field stencils, with tests showing improved conservation properties and suppression of numerical effects.
PIC-motivated acceleration models for GRB afterglows predict a GeV-band synchrotron cutoff in low-density short GRBs that current Fermi-LAT data cannot distinguish from the Bohm limit but future observations could.
