Stochastic proton heating by kinetic-Alfvén-wave turbulence in moderately high- plasmas
Ian W. Hoppock, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Kristopher G. Klein +2
Stochastic heating refers to an increase in the average magnetic moment of charged particles interacting with electromagnetic fluctuations whose frequencies are smaller than the pa…
Large-scale Control of Kinetic Dissipation in the Solar Wind
Daniel Vech, Kristopher G. Klein, Justin C. Kasper
In this Letter we study the connection between the large-scale dynamics of the turbulence cascade and particle heating on kinetic scales. We find that the inertial range turbulence…
Interplay between intermittency and dissipation in collisionless plasma turbulence
Alfred Mallet, Kristopher G. Klein, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +5
We study the damping of collisionless Alfvénic turbulence by two mechanisms: stochastic heating (whose efficiency depends on the local turbulence amplitude ) and linear Landa…
A Majority of Solar Wind Intervals Support Ion-Driven Instabilities
K. G. Klein, B. A. Alterman, M. L. Stevens +2
We perform a statistical assessment of solar wind stability at 1 AU against ion sources of free energy using Nyquist's instability criterion. In contrast to typically employed thre…
ALPS: The Arbitrary Linear Plasma Solver
Daniel Verscharen, Kristopher G. Klein, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +3
The Arbitrary Linear Plasma Solver (ALPS) is a parallelised numerical code that solves the dispersion relation in a hot (even relativistic) magnetised plasma with an arbitrary numb…
Magnetic Reconnection May Control the Ion-Scale Spectral Break of Solar Wind Turbulence
Daniel Vech, Alfred Mallet, Kristopher G. Klein +1
The power spectral density of magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind exhibits several power-law-like frequency ranges with a well defined break between approximately 0.1 and 1 Hz…
The statistical properties of solar wind temperature parameters near 1 AU
Lynn B. Wilson, Michael L. Stevens, Justin C. Kasper +6
We present a long-duration (10 years) statistical analysis of the temperatures, plasma betas, and temperature ratios for the electron, proton, and alpha-particle populations…
