Secondary drift-driven instabilities in the presence of a parallel-propagating electromagnetic ion cyclotron wave and cold multi-component ions
Opal Issan, Patrick Kilian, Vadim Roytershteyn +2
Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are commonly observed in Earth's inner magnetosphere, particularly during geomagnetic storms driven by anisotropic ring-current protons.…
Mixed Hermite-Legendre spectral method for kinetic plasma simulations
Opal Issan, Gian Luca Delzanno, Vadim Roytershteyn
Kinetic collisionless plasma equations are commonly solved via spectral methods in velocity space. The most commonly used spectral method is based on Hermite polynomials with a Max…
Distributions of particles accelerated by strong Alfvénic turbulence
Stanislav Boldyrev, Daniel Humphrey, Vadim Roytershteyn +1
This work presents a model for generating nonthermal power-law tails of particles' energy probability density functions in turbulent collisionless plasmas, applicable to both non-r…
