3D PIC simulations of relativistic turbulence show mirror interactions drive perpendicular momentum gains correlated with local magnetic-field strengthening, yielding anisotropic high-energy particle distributions and enhanced confinement.
Simulations indicate LACT can reach 5 sigma detection of SS 433 in ~30 hours, spatially separate its jets, and distinguish hadronic components after ~100 hours based on prior LHAASO data.
