Nonlinear Landau resonant interaction between whistler waves and electrons: Excitation of electron acoustic waves
Donglai Ma, Xin An, Anton Artemyev +3
Electron acoustic waves (EAWs), as well as electron-acoustic solitary structures, play a crucial role in thermalization and acceleration of electron populations in Earth's magnetos…
Nonresonant scattering of energetic electrons by electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves: spacecraft observations and theoretical framework
Xin An, Anton Artemyev, Vassilis Angelopoulos +4
Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves lead to rapid scattering of relativistic electrons in Earth's radiation belts, due to their large amplitudes relative to other waves that…
Non-Gaussian fluctuation dynamics in relativistic fluids
Xin An, Gokce Basar, Mikhail Stephanov +1
We consider non-equilibrium evolution of non-Gaussian fluctuations within relativistic hydrodynamics relevant for the QCD critical point search in heavy-ion collision experiments.…

V. Angelopoulos, X. -J. Zhang, A. V. Artemyev +83
We review comprehensive observations of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave-driven energetic electron precipitation using data from the energetic electron detector on the Ele…
Nonresonant scattering of relativistic electrons by electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves in Earth's radiation belts
Xin An, Anton Artemyev, Vassilis Angelopoulos +3
Electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves are expected to pitch-angle scatter and cause atmospheric precipitation of relativistic ( MeV) electrons under typical conditions in Earth'…
Configuration of magnetotail current sheet prior to magnetic reconnection onset
Xin An, Anton Artemyev, Vassilis Angelopoulos +3
The magnetotail current sheet configuration determines magnetic reconnection properties that control the substorm onset, one of the most energetic phenomena in the Earth's magnetos…
Fast inverse transform sampling of non-Gaussian distribution functions in space plasmas
Xin An, Anton Artemyev, Vassilis Angelopoulos +3
Non-Gaussian distributions are commonly observed in collisionless space plasmas. Generating samples from non-Gaussian distributions is critical for the initialization of particle-i…
Suppression of reconnection in polarized, thin magnetotail current sheets: 2D simulations and implications
Xin An, Anton Artemyev, Vassilis Angelopoulos +3
Many in-situ spacecraft observations have demonstrated that magnetic reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail is largely controlled by the pre-reconnection current sheet configurati…
Baryon diffusion near the QCD critical point
Lipei Du, Xin An, Ulrich Heinz
Fireballs created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at different beam energies have been argued to follow different trajectories in the QCD phase diagram in which the QCD critic…
The BEST framework for the search for the QCD critical point and the chiral magnetic effect
Xin An, Marcus Bluhm, Lipei Du +40
The Beam Energy Scan Theory (BEST) Collaboration was formed with the goal of providing a theoretical framework for analyzing data from the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at the rel…
Baryon transport and the QCD critical point
Lipei Du, Xin An, Ulrich Heinz
Fireballs created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at different beam energies have been argued to follow different trajectories in the QCD phase diagram in which the QCD critic…
Nonlinear Landau resonant interaction between kinetic Alfvén waves and thermal electrons: Excitation of time domain structures
Xin An, Jacob Bortnik, Xiaojia Zhang
Phase space holes, double layers and other solitary electric field structures, referred to as time domain structures (TDSs), often occur around dipolarization fronts in the Earth's…
Evolution of Non-Gaussian Hydrodynamic Fluctuations
Xin An, Gokce Basar, Mikhail Stephanov +1
In the context of the search for the QCD critical point using non-Gaussian fluctuations, we obtain the evolution equations for non-Gaussian cumulants to the leading order of the sy…
Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations of foreshock transients at their very early stage
Terry Z. Liu, Xin An, Hui Zhang +1
Foreshock transients are ion kinetic structures in the ion foreshock. Due to their dynamic pressure perturbations, they can disturb the bow shock and magnetosphere-ionosphere syste…
Formation of foreshock transients and associated secondary shocks
Xin An, Terry Z. Liu, Jacob Bortnik +2
Upstream of shocks, the foreshock is filled with hot ions. When these ions are concentrated and thermalized around a discontinuity, a diamagnetic cavity bounded by compressional bo…
