Electron acceleration driven by the lower-hybrid-drift instability: an extended quasilinear model
F. Lavorenti, P. Henri, F. Califano +2
Density inhomogeneities are ubiquitous in space and astrophysical plasmas, in particular at contact boundaries between different media. They often correspond to regions that exhibi…
Interplay between Kelvin-Helmholtz and Lower-Hybrid Drift instabilities
Jérémy Dargent, Federico Lavorenti, Francesco Califano +3
Boundary layers in space and astrophysical plasmas are the location of complex dynamics where different mechanisms coexist and compete eventually leading to plasma mixing. In this…
Kinetic plasma turbulence during the nonlinear stage of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability
Koen Kemel, Pierre Henri, Giovanni Lapenta +2
Using a full kinetic, implicit particle-in-cell code, iPiC3D, we studied the properties of plasma kinetic turbulence, such as would be found at the interface between the solar wind…
Signatures of Secondary Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection Driven by Kink Instability of a Flux Rope
S. Markidis, G. Lapenta, G. L. Delzanno +5
The kinetic features of secondary magnetic reconnection in a single flux rope undergoing internal kink instability are studied by means of three-dimensional Particle-in-Cell simula…
Kinetic Simulations of Plasmoid Chain Dynamics
Stefano Markidis, Pierre Henri, Giovanni Lapenta +4
The dynamics of a plasmoid chain is studied with three dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations. The evolution of the system with and without a uniform guide field, whose strength…
Low energy Langmuir cavitons: asymptotic limit of weak turbulence
P. Henri, F. Califano, C. Briand +1
Langmuir turbulence is an archetype of wave turbulence in plasma physics. By means of 1D-1V Vlasov-Poisson simulations, we show that coherent structures, called Langmuir cavitons,…
