A dispersion function for the regularized kappa distribution function

Rudi Gaelzer, Horst Fichtner, Klaus Scherer

In this work we define the plasma dispersion function for a suprathermal plasma described with a regularized kappa distribution. As is known from Maxwellian as well as (standard) k…

On the entropy of plasmas described with regularized -distributions

H. Fichtner, K. Scherer, M. Lazar +2

In classical thermodynamics the entropy is an extensive quantity, i.e.\ the sum of the entropies of two subsystems in equilibrium with each other is equal to the entropy of the ful…

Regularized -distributions with non-diverging moments

K. Scherer, H. Fichtner, M. Lazar

For various plasma applications the so-called (non-relativistic) -distribution is widely used to reproduce and interpret the suprathermal particle populations exhibiting a power…

A generalized two-component model of solar wind turbulence and ab initio diffusion mean free paths and drift lengthscales of cosmic rays

Tobias Wiengarten, Sean Oughton, Eugene Engelbrecht +3

We extend a two-component model for the evolution of fluctuations in the solar wind plasma so that it is fully three-dimensional (3D) and also coupled self-consistently to the larg…

Comic ray flux anisotropies caused by astrospheres

K. Scherer, R. D. Strauss, S. E. S. Ferreira +1

Huge astrospheres or stellar wind bubbles influence the propagation of cosmic rays at energies up to the TeV range and can act as small-scale sinks decreasing the cosmic ray flux.…
