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.

Hybrid simulations of tearing reconnection show magnetic energy converts to ion bulk flows and heating in the nonlinear phase, with island contraction driving parallel ion temperature anisotropy that firehose instabilities regulate by redistributing energy to the perpendicular direction.

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.

Tearing Driven Reconnection: Energy Conversion Involving Firehose Kinetic Instabilities (2D Hybrid M\"obius Simulations)
Hybrid simulations of tearing reconnection show magnetic energy converts to ion bulk flows and heating in the nonlinear phase, with island contraction driving parallel ion temperature anisotropy that firehose instabilities regulate by redistributing energy to the perpendicular direction.
