Turbulence and particle acceleration in a relativistic plasma
Cristian Vega, Stanislav Boldyrev, Vadim Roytershteyn +1
In a collisionless plasma, the energy distribution function of plasma particles can be strongly affected by turbulence. In particular, it can develop a non-thermal power-law tail a…
A drift kinetic model for the expander region of a magnetic mirror
Blake A. Wetherton, Ari Le, Jan Egedal +4
We present a drift kinetic model for the free expansion of a thermal plasma out of a magnetic nozzle. This problem relates to plasma space propulsion systems, natural environments…
Nonlinear coupling of whistler waves to oblique electrostatic turbulence enabled by cold plasma
Vadim Roytershteyn, Gian Luca Delzanno
Kinetic simulations and theory demonstrate that whistler waves can excite oblique, short-wavelength fluctuations through secondary drift instabilities if a population of sufficient…
Dissipation measures in weakly-collisional plasmas
O. Pezzi, H. Liang, J. L. Juno +8
The physical foundations of the dissipation of energy and the associated heating in weakly collisional plasmas are poorly understood. Here, we compare and contrast several measures…
