Phase-space entropy cascade and irreversibility of stochastic heating in nearly collisionless plasma turbulence
Michael L. Nastac, Robert J. Ewart, Wrick Sengupta +3
We consider a nearly collisionless plasma consisting of a species of `test particles' in 1D-1V, stirred by an externally imposed stochastic electric field. The mean effect on the p…

Non-thermal particle acceleration and power-law tails via relaxation to universal Lynden-Bell equilibria
Robert J. Ewart, Michael L. Nastac, Alexander A. Schekochihin
Collisionless and weakly collisional plasmas often exhibit non-thermal quasi-equilibria. Among these quasi-equilibria, distributions with power-law tails are ubiquitous. It is show…
