Understanding Streaming Instabilities in the Limit of High Cosmic-Ray Current Density

A critical component of particle acceleration in astrophysical shocks is the nonresonant (Bell) instability, where the streaming of cosmic rays (CRs) leads to the amplification of magnetic fields necessary to scatter particles. In this work we use kinetic particle-in-cell simulations to investigate...
