Strong Nonlinear Alfvén Wave Interactions in a Laboratory Plasma
C. H. K. Chen, S. Dorfman, S. Boldyrev +6
Alfvén waves and their nonlinear interactions are ubiquitous in space and astrophysical plasmas, and are thought to play important roles in the dynamics of these systems, yet their…
Particle acceleration in Alfvénic turbulence with a strong guide field
Daniel Humphrey, Stanislav Boldyrev, Vadim Roytershteyn
Magnetically dominated Alfvénic turbulence creates an effective environment for particle acceleration. However, when a strong mean field is present, traditional mechanisms like mir…
Particle acceleration and pitch-angle evolution in relativistic turbulence
Daniel Humphrey, Cristian Vega, Stanislav Boldyrev +1
Synchrotron radiation detected from relativistic astrophysical objects such as pulsar-wind nebulae and {jets from active galactic nuclei} depends on the magnetic fields and the dis…
Whistler-Alfvén turbulence in a non-neutral ultrarelativistic pair plasma
Stanislav Boldyrev, Mikhail Medvedev
The large-scale dynamics of most conventional space and astrophysical plasmas are predominantly governed by Alfvén modes, which are low-frequency magnetohydrodynamic modes existing…
Anisotropic particle acceleration in Alfvénic turbulence
Cristian Vega, Stanislav Boldyrev, Vadim Roytershteyn
Alfvénic turbulence is an effective mechanism for particle acceleration in strongly magnetized, relativistic plasma. In this study, we investigate a scenario where turbulent plasma…
Residual Energy and Broken Symmetry in Reduced Magnetohydrodynamics
S. Dorfman, M. Abler, S. Boldyrev +2
Alfvénic interactions which transfer energy from large to small spatial scales lie at the heart of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. An important feature of the turbulence is the gen…
Particle acceleration in relativistic Alfvénic turbulence
Cristian Vega, Stanislav Boldyrev, Vadim Roytershteyn
Strong magnetically dominated Alfvénic turbulence is an efficient engine of non-thermal particle acceleration in a relativistic collisionless plasma. We argue that in the limit of…
Extreme Plasma Astrophysics
D. Uzdensky, M. Begelman, A. Beloborodov +22
This is a science white paper submitted to the Astro-2020 and Plasma-2020 Decadal Surveys. The paper describes the present status and emerging opportunities in Extreme Plasma Astro…
