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.

The $\beta$-Dependence of Particle Spectra in Relativistic Turbulent Reconnection
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.
