Zoomed-in view on the current sheet sliced at r/r_min = 6.13 for the σ = 4.5 run. Top panel: square of the mean particle Lorentz factor, ⟨γ⟩². Middle panel: square of the total magnetic field strength, B². Bottom panel: proxy for the total synchrotron power, nB²⟨γ⟩². White contours show the magnetic field lines projected on this plane.
