Chaotic Motion of Ions In Finite-amplitude Low-frequency Alfvén Waves
Jingyu Peng, Jiansen He, Rong Lin
Finite-amplitude low-frequency Alfvén waves (AWs) are ubiquitous in space plasmas, where they play a key role in the transport and dissipation of energy, particularly in the heati…

Generation of proton beams at switchback boundary-like rotational discontinuities in the solar wind
Rong Lin, Fabio Bacchini, Jiansen He +2
Alfvénic rotational discontinuities (RDs) are abundant in the inner heliosphere and can be used to model the boundary of switchbacks, i.e. Alfvénic magnetic kinks. To investigate…

Ion Stochastic Heating by Low-frequency Alfvén Wave Spectrum
Jingyu Peng, Jiansen He
Finite-amplitude low-frequency Alfvén waves are commonly found in plasma environments, such as space plasmas, and play a crucial role in ion heating. The nonlinear interaction bet…
