In multispecies relativistic turbulence, energization occurs at reconnection current sheets driven by the divergence of the relativistic pressure tensor, with electrons accelerated more efficiently than positrons due to species imbalance.

3D wind-tunnel simulations in the χ~10^3 regime show clump-cocoon geometry sets SB_X/SB_Hα~3, with Hα fraction fixed by atomic physics and X-ray fraction set by residence time in the X-ray band that scales inversely with pressure.
A population of AGN coronae with magnetization parameters spanning up to σ ~ 10 can reproduce the entire observed diffuse neutrino flux from TeV to PeV energies.
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.
Curvature acceleration in strong Alfvénic turbulence saturates due to diminishing energy exchange efficiency, producing particle distributions f(p) ∝ p^{-3} (non-relativistic) and f(γ) ∝ γ^{-3} (ultrarelativistic).

Clumps in a Cocoon: Geometry and Mixing Set the Universal X-ray to H$\alpha$ Surface Brightness Ratio
3D wind-tunnel simulations in the χ~10^3 regime show clump-cocoon geometry sets SB_X/SB_Hα~3, with Hα fraction fixed by atomic physics and X-ray fraction set by residence time in the X-ray band that scales inversely with pressure.
