Talk Title |
Kinetics and electrodynamics of collisionless plasma in GRBs |
Abstract |
We consider initially cold collisionless electron-proton plasma which moves with ultrarelativistic speed and perform numerical integration of 3-dimensional coupled Maxwell-Vlasov equations. We observe plasma reaching equipartition between particles and electromagnetic field and electrons accelerated to larger Lorentz factors with thermal-like energy distribution. Implications of the observed plasma dynamics for GRBs will be discussed. |
