Transition from Vortical to Alfvénic-like Fermi Electron Acceleration in Magnetic Reconnection with Increasing Guide Field

Using particle-in-cell simulations of magnetic reconnection (MR), we investigate how the changing magnetic guide field strength impacts the evolution of electron Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (EKHI) and the associated Fermi electron acceleration proposed by H. Che & G. P. Zank. Through this inves...
