Nature of stochastic ion heating in the solar wind: testing the dependence on plasma beta and turbulence amplitude
Daniel Vech, Kristopher G. Klein, Justin C. Kasper
The solar wind undergoes significant heating as it propagates away from the Sun; the exact mechanisms responsible for this heating are not yet fully understood. We present for the…
Diagnosing collisionless energy transfer using field-particle correlations: gyrokinetic turbulence
Kristopher G. Klein, Gregory G. Howes, Jason M. TenBarge
Determining the physical mechanisms that extract energy from turbulent fluctuations in weakly collisional magnetized plasmas is necessary for a more complete characterization of th…
Evolution of The Proton Velocity Distribution due to Stochastic Heating in the Near-Sun Solar Wind
Kristopher G. Klein, Benjamin D. G. Chandran
We investigate how the proton distribution function evolves when the protons undergo stochastic heating by strong, low-frequency, Alfvén-wave turbulence under the assumption that $…
Predicted Impacts of Proton Temperature Anisotropy on Solar Wind Turbulence
Kristopher G. Klein, Gregory G. Howes
Particle velocity distributions measured in the weakly collisional solar wind are frequently found to be non-Maxwellian, but how these non-Maxwellian distributions impact the physi…
