Experimental Plasma Density Profiles Determined Through Measurements of the Magnetosonic Wave Speed
Cameron Kuchta, Jan Egedal, Abhishek Mhatre +4
Information on plasma density in laboratory plasmas is commonly acquired using either Langmuir probes or optical diagnostics. Here, we present an alternative approach, inferring th…
Drift-cyclotron loss-cone instability in 3D simulations of a sloshing-ion simple mirror
Aaron Tran, Samuel J. Frank, Ari Y. Le +11
The kinetic stability of collisionless, sloshing beam-ion (45° pitch angle) plasma is studied in a 3D simple magnetic mirror, mimicking the Wisconsin High-temperature superconducto…
Enhanced Electron Mixing and Heating in 3D Asymmetric Reconnection at the Earth's Magnetopause
Ari Le, William Daughton, Li-Jen Chen +1
Electron heating and mixing during asymmetric reconnection are studied with a 3D kinetic simulation that matches plasma parameters from Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft o…
Spacecraft observations and analytic theory of crescent-shaped electron distributions in asymmetric magnetic reconnection
J. Egedal, A. Le, W. Daughton +8
Supported by a kinetic simulation, we derive an exclusion energy parameter providing a lower kinetic energy bound for an electron to cross from one inflow region to the…
