Small-scale magnetic islands in the solar wind and their role in particle acceleration. Part 1: Dynamics of magnetic islands near the heliospheric current sheet
O. Khabarova, G. P. Zank, G. Li +4
Increases of ion fluxes in the keV-MeV range are sometimes observed near the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) during periods when other sources are absent. These resemble solar ene…
Pitch-angle scattering of energetic particles with adiabatic focusing
R. C. Tautz, A. Shalchi, A. Dosch
Understanding turbulent transport of charged particles in magnetized plasmas often requires a model for the description of random variations in the particle's pitch angle. The Fokk…
Pitch-angle scattering in magnetostatic turbulence. I. Test-particle simulations and the validity of analytical results
R. C. Tautz, A. Dosch, F. Effenberger +2
Context. Spacecraft observations have motivated the need for a refined description of the phase-space distribution function. Of particular importance is the pitch-angle diffusion c…
Characteristic Length of Energy-Containing Structures at the Base of a Coronal Hole
V. I. Abramenko, G. P. Zank, A. Dosch +4
An essential parameter for models of coronal heating and fast solar wind acceleration that rely on the dissipation of MHD turbulence is the characteristic energy-containing length…
On numerical turbulence generation for test-particle simulations
R. C. Tautz, A. Dosch
A modified method is presented to generate artificial magnetic turbulence that is used for test-particle simulations. Such turbulent fields are obtained from the superposition of a…
Simulating Heliospheric and Solar Particle Diffusion using the Parker Spiral Geometry
R. C. Tautz, A. Shalchi, A. Dosch
Cosmic Ray transport in curved background magnetic fields is investigated using numerical Monte-Carlo simulation techniques. Special emphasis is laid on the Solar system, where the…
