Decay of space plasma turbulence downstream of bow shocks: MMS magnetosheath unbiased campaign observations
Victor Montagud-Camps, Petr Hellinger, Sergio Toledo-Redondo +8
Turbulence properties in the solar wind change with increasing heliospheric distance. Observations from different missions have shown how spectral indices converge towards a $f^{-5…
Transport of electrons in tangled magnetic fields
Daniel Verscharen, Natasha Jeffrey, Anton Artemyev +6
Cosmic magnetic fields are typically inhomogeneous and often highly tangled due to large-scale plasma flows, turbulence, and instabilities. If the variations in the magnetic field…
Turbulent dynamo in the terrestrial magnetosheath
Zoltán Vörös, Owen Wyn Roberts, Yasuhito Narita +10
Dynamo action refers to energy exchange processes through which magnetic fields are generated at the expense of kinetic energy of the plasma flows. Dynamos can generate magnetic fi…
Plasma Mixing Driven by the Collisionless Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability: Insights from fully kinetic simulation and density-based diagnostics
Silvia Ferro, Fabio Bacchini, Giuseppe Arrò +2
Simulations and observations of the low-latitude magnetosphere-magnetosheath boundary layer indicate that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) drives vortex structures that enhan…

This paper presents a theoretical investigation of the cross sections for dissociative electron attachment and dissociative excitation processes in vibrationally excited CH radical…
Nanodiamond photocathodes for MPGD-based single photon detectors
F. M. Brunbauer, C. Chatterjee, G. Cicala +11
This study investigates the suitability of Hydrogenated NanoDiamond (HND) materials as an alternative for CsI in MPGD-based photon detectors. The research focuses on characterizing…
Wall damage due to oblique high velocity dust impacts
Panagiotis Tolias, Marco De Angeli, Dario Ripamonti +3
Runaway electron termination on plasma facing components can trigger material explosions that are accompanied by the expulsion of fast solid debris. Due to the large kinetic energi…
Electron impact ro-vibrational transitions and dissociative recombination of H2+ and HD+: Rate coefficients and astrophysical implications
Riyad Hassaine, Emerance Djuissi, Nicolina Pop +11
Context. Molecular hydrogen and its cation H+2 are among the first species formed in the early Universe, and play a key role in the thermal and chemical evolution of the primordial…
A Tale of Two Shocks
Robert F. Wimmer-Schweingruber, Domenico Trotta, Rungployphan Kieokaew +23
Energetic particles in interplanetary space are normally measured at time scales that are long compared to the ion gyroperiod. Such observations by necessity average out the microp…
Three-dimensional boundary turbulence simulations of a RFX-mod plasma in the presence of voltage biasing
M. Giacomin, N. Vianello, R. Cavazzana +3
Three-dimensional turbulence simulations of a RFX-mod diverted plasma are performed in the presence of a biasing electrode. The simulations show a strong suppression of turbulent t…
Vibrational excitation and dissociation of deuterium molecule by electron impact
V Laporta, R Agnello, G Fubiani +4
A theoretical investigation of electron-D2 resonant collisions - via the low lying and the Rydberg states of D2- - is presented for vibrational excitation, dissociative electron at…
Vibrational excitation cross sections for non-equilibrium nitric oxide-containing plasma
V Laporta, L Vialetto, V Guerra
A full set of vibrationally-resolved cross sections for electron impact excitation of NO(X2Π, v) molecules is calculated from ab initio molecular dynamics, in the framework of the…
Upgrade of the Diagnostic Neutral Beam Injector for the RFX-mod2 experiment
Marco Barbisan, Marco Boldrin, Luca Cinnirella +8
Diagnostic Neutral Beam Injectors (DNBI), through the combined use of Charge Exchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CHERS) and Motional Stark effect diagnostics (MSE), are a well-kno…

We analyze data from multiple flybys by the Solar Orbiter, BepiColombo, and Parker Solar Probe (PSP) missions to study the interaction between Venus' plasma environment and the sol…
Temperature anisotropy instabilities driven by intermittent velocity shears in the solar wind
Simon Opie, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher H. K. Chen +5
Where and under what conditions the transfer of energy between electromagnetic fields and particles takes place in the solar wind remains an open question. We investigate the condi…
Impact of solar wind turbulence on a planetary bow shock
