The Velocity-Space Signature of Transit-Time Damping

Rui Huang, Gregory G. Howes, Andrew J. McCubbin

Transit-time damping (TTD) is a process in which the magnetic mirror force -- induced by the parallel gradient of magnetic field strength -- interacts with resonant plasma particle…

Characterizing the Velocity-Space Signature of Electron Landau Damping

Sarah A. Conley, Gregory G. Howes, Andrew J. McCubbin

Plasma turbulence plays a critical role in the transport of energy from large-scale magnetic fields and plasma flows to small scales, where the dissipated turbulent energy ultimate…

Observing Particle Energization above the Nyquist Frequency: An Application of the Field-Particle Correlation Technique

Sarah A. Horvath, Gregory G. Howes, Andrew J. McCubbin

The field-particle correlation technique utilizes single-point measurements to uncover signatures of various particle energization mechanisms in turbulent space plasmas. The signat…

Characterizing Velocity-Space Signatures of Electron Energization in Large-Guide-Field Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection

Andrew J. McCubbin, Gregory G. Howes, Jason M. TenBarge

Magnetic reconnection plays an important role in the release of magnetic energy and consequent energization of particles in collisionless plasmas. Energy transfer in collisionless…

Electron Landau Damping of Kinetic Alfvén Waves in Simulated Magnetosheath Turbulence

Sarah A. Horvath, Gregory G. Howes, Andrew J. McCubbin

Turbulence is thought to play a role in the heating of the solar wind plasma, though many questions remain to be solved regarding the exact nature of the mechanisms driving this pr…

Spatially Localized Particle Energization by Landau Damping in Current Sheets Produced by Strong Alfven Wave Collisions

Gregory G. Howes, Andrew J. McCubbin, Kristopher G. Klein

Understanding the removal of energy from turbulent fluctuations in a magnetized plasma and the consequent energization of the constituent plasma particles is a major goal of heliop…
