Stochastic Ion Acceleration by the Ion-cyclotron Instability in a Growing Magnetic Field
Francisco Ley, Mario Riquelme, Lorenzo Sironi +2
Using 1D and 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of a plasma with a growing magnetic field , we show that ions can be stochastically accelerated by the ion-cyclotron (IC…
PIC Simulations of Velocity-Space Instabilities in a Decreasing Magnetic Field: Viscosity and Thermal Conduction
Mario Riquelme, Eliot Quataert, Daniel Verscharen
We use particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of a collisionless, electron-ion plasma with a decreasing background magnetic field, , to study the effect of velocity-space instabilit…
PIC Simulations of Continuously Driven Mirror and Ion Cyclotron Instabilities in High Beta Astrophysical and Heliospheric Plasmas
Mario Riquelme, Eliot Quataert, Daniel Verscharen
We use particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations to study the nonlinear evolution of ion velocity space instabilities in an idealized problem in which a background velocity shear continuo…
