Synchrotron Pair Production Equilibrium in Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Magnetic reconnection is ubiquitous in astrophysical systems, and in many such systems the plasma suffers from significant cooling due to synchrotron radiation. We study relativistic magnetic reconnection in the presence of strong synchrotron cooling, where the ambient magnetization, σ , is high and...
