Particle acceleration in AGN magnetic reconnection regions
Abstract
Magnetic field-aligned electric fields are characteristic features of magnetic reconnection processes in the coronae of AGN. In these fields electrons can be accelerated efficiently and fast enough to contribute to TeV emission phenomena.
