Lorentz factor distributions for background electrons (green population), for various simulations with mi/me = 25 or 1, in the final state. Times are for all simulations, except for ωce/ωpe = 1 (
), and for ωce/ωpe = 6 (
). Notations are abbreviated:
,
, σe stands for
, and VA for
(with θ = arctanBG/B0). Unless specified,
. The power-law indexes are p. The precise setups are reported in Table 1 for each σe. The light-green curve (σe = 83, VA = 0.9) is the same on the left and right panel, and is the final state of the simulation of Fig. 1.
