Characterization of fast magnetosonic waves driven by compact toroid plasma injection along a magnetic field
F. Chu, S. J. Langendorf, J. Olson +5
Magnetosonic waves are low-frequency, linearly polarized magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves commonly found in space, responsible for many well-known features, such as heating of the s…
