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…
Turbulent magneto-genesis in a collisionless plasma
F. Pucci, M. Viviani, F. Valentini +3
We investigate an efficient mechanism for generating magnetic fields in turbulent, collisionless plasmas. By using fully kinetic, particle-in-cell simulations of an initially non-m…
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…
