Pitch-angle scattering in magnetostatic turbulence. II. Analytical considerations and pitch-angle isotropization
R. C. Tautz
Aims. The process of pitch-angle isotropization is important for many applications ranging from diffusive shock acceleration to large-scale cosmic-ray transport. Here, the basic an…
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…
Interstellar Turbulent Magnetic Field Generation by Plasma Instabilities
R. C. Tautz, J. Triptow
The maximum magnetic field strength generated by Weibel-type plasma instabilities is estimated for typical conditions in the interstellar medium. The relevant kinetic dispersion re…
Modification of cosmic-ray energy spectra by stochastic acceleration
R. C. Tautz, I. Lerche, F. Kruse
Context: Typical space plasmas contain spatially and temporally variable turbulent electromagnetic fields. Understanding the transport of energetic particles and the acceleration m…
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…
