Radiative Relativistic Turbulence as an In Situ Pair-plasma Source in Blazar Jets

As powerful gamma-ray engines, blazars—relativistic plasma jets launched toward Earth from active galactic nuclei—are manifestly high-energy particle accelerators. Yet, exactly how these jets accelerate particles as well as what they are made of both remain largely mysterious. In this work, we argue...
