MHD-PIC simulations find that the non-thermal particle spectral index alpha steepens as alpha proportional to beta to the power 0.5 in the relativistic regime, due to inertial mass density acting as an energy sink that reduces Alfven velocity.
Reconnection in transrelativistic AGN coronae can energize protons to tens of PeV, producing a neutrino spectrum consistent with NGC 1068 observations without tuning the proton spectral slope.
3D kinetic simulations find that merging Lundquist flux tubes produce delayed reconnection onset in 3D, a normalized reconnection rate of 0.08-0.10, and nonthermal particle spectra with power-law index 1.6-2.0 and cutoff gamma_cut/sigma_in approximately 50.
A two-component Galactic source model with supernova remnants below 100 TeV and microquasars above, using charge-dependent cutoffs, accounts for cosmic-ray spectra, composition, and the all-particle spectrum up to PeV energies while ruling out nuclei-dependent cutoffs.

Two kinds of Galactic source populations could explain the cosmic-ray observation up to the "knee" region
A two-component Galactic source model with supernova remnants below 100 TeV and microquasars above, using charge-dependent cutoffs, accounts for cosmic-ray spectra, composition, and the all-particle spectrum up to PeV energies while ruling out nuclei-dependent cutoffs.
