Relativistic Particle Transport and Acceleration in Structured Plasma Turbulence
Oreste Pezzi, Pasquale Blasi, William H. Matthaeus
We discuss the phenomenon of energization of relativistic charged particles in three-dimensional (3D) incompressible MHD turbulence and the diffusive properties of the motion of th…
Kinetic heating by Alfvén waves in magnetic shears
Fabio Bacchini, Francesco Pucci, Francesco Malara +1
With first-principles kinetic simulations, we show that a large-scale Alfvén wave (AW) propagating in an inhomogeneous background decays into kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs), triggerin…
Exploring the Solar Wind from its Source on the Corona into the Inner Heliosphere during the First Solar Orbiter - Parker Solar Probe Quadrature
Daniele Telloni, Vincenzo Andretta, Ester Antonucci +68
This Letter addresses the first Solar Orbiter (SO) -- Parker Solar Probe (PSP) quadrature, occurring on January 18, 2021, to investigate the evolution of solar wind from the extend…
Turbulent cascade and energy transfer rate in a solar coronal mass ejection
Luca Sorriso-Valvo, Emiliya Yordanova, Andrew P. Dimmock +1
Turbulence properties are examined before, during and after a coronal mass ejection (CME) detected by the6Wind spacecraft on July 2012. The power-law scaling of the structure funct…
Measurements of neutron fields in a wide energy range using multi-foil activation analysis
D. Chiesa, C. Cazzaniga, M. Nastasi +6
An accurate characterization of the neutron fields at spallation sources is crucial for many applications based on neutron irradiations, such as radiation damage tests that need a…
Energy-selective confinement of fusion-born alpha particles during internal relaxations in a tokamak plasma
Andreas Bierwage, Kouji Shinohara, Yevgen Kazakov +9
Long-pulse operation of a self-sustained fusion reactor using toroidal magnetic containment requires control over the content of alpha particles produced by D-T fusion reactions. O…
A possible link between turbulence and plasma heating
Emiliya Yordanova, Zoltán Vörös, Luca Sorriso-Valvo +2
Numerical simulations and experimental results have shown that current sheets formation in space plasmas can be associated with enhanced vorticity. Also, in simulations the generat…
Nature of electrostatic fluctuations in the terrestrial magnetosheath
Silvia Perri, Denise Perrone, Owen Roberts +5
The high cadence plasma, electric, and magnetic field measurements by the Magnetospheric MultiScale spacecraft allow us to explore the near-Earth space plasma with an unprecedented…
Statistical study of electron density turbulence and ion-cyclotron waves in the inner heliosphere: Solar Orbiter observations
F. Carbone, L. Sorriso-Valvo, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev +27
The recently released spacecraft potential measured by the RPW instrument on-board Solar Orbiter has been used to estimate the solar wind electron density in the inner heliosphere.…
CH reforming with CO in a nanosecond pulsed discharge. The importance of the pulse sequence
Cesare Montesano, Marzia Faedda, Luca Matteo Martini +2
The plasma dry reforming reaction of methane with carbon dioxide is investigated in a nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharge, a type of plasma that offers one of the highest non-…
Reconciling Experimental and Theoretical Vibrational Deactivation in Low-Energy O+N Collisions
Qizhen Hong, Massimiliano Bartolomei, Fabrizio Esposito +3
Molecular dynamics calculations of inelastic collisions of atomic oxygen with molecular nitrogen are known to show orders of magnitude discrepancies with experimental results in th…
New plasma regimes with small ELMs and high confinement at the Joint European Torus
J. Garcia, E. de la Luna, M. Sertoli +15
New plasma regimes with high confinement, low core impurity accumulation and small Edge localized mode (ELMs) perturbations have been obtained close to ITER conditions in magnetica…
Thermal neutron cross sections of amino acids from average contributions of functional groups
G. Romanelli, D. Onorati, P. Ulpiani +10
The experimental thermal neutron cross sections of the twenty proteinogenic amino acids have been measured over the incident-neutron energy range spanning from 1 meV to 10 keV and…
Current sheets, plasmoids and flux ropes in the heliosphere. Part II: Theoretical aspects
O. Pezzi, F. Pecora, J. le Roux +13
Our understanding of processes occurring in the heliosphere historically began with reduced dimensionality - one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) sketches and models, whic…
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…
Bridging hybrid- and full-kinetic models with Landau-fluid electrons: I. 2D magnetic reconnection
Francesco Finelli, Silvio S. Cerri, Francesco Califano +4
Magnetic reconnection (MR) plays a fundamental role in plasma dynamics under many different conditions, from space and astrophysical environments to laboratory devices. High-resolu…
