Relativistic jets are widely observed in astronomical objects including active galactic nuclei and gamma-ray bursts. However, the acceleration mechanisms that drive these jets are not yet fully understood. Recent studies have shown that when a jet possesses an initial velocity corresponding to approximately 90% of the speed of light, it...
