Machine-learned trends in mirror configurations in the Large Plasma Device

Phil Travis, Jacob Bortnik, Troy Carter

This study demonstrates the efficacy of ML-based trend inference using data from the Large Plasma Device (LAPD). The LAPD is a flexible basic plasma science device with a high disc…

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 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'…

Linear unstable whistler eigenmodes excited by a finite electron beam

Xin An, Jacob Bortnik, Bart Van Compernolle

Electron beam-generated whistler waves are widely found in the Earth's space plasma environment and are intricately involved in a number of phenomena. Here we study the linear grow…

Electrostatic and whistler instabilities excited by an electron beam

Xin An, Jacob Bortnik, Bart Van Compernolle +2

The electron beam-plasma system is ubiquitous in the space plasma environment. Here, using a Darwin particle-in-cell method, the excitation of electrostatic and whistler instabilit…
