Superdiffusive Stochastic Fermi Acceleration in Space and Energy
Nikos Sioulas, Heinz Isliker, Loukas Vlahos +2
We analyze the transport properties of charged particles (ions and electrons) interacting with randomly formed magnetic scatterers (e.g.\ large scale local ``magnetic fluctuations'…
Diffusive Shock Acceleration and Turbulent Reconnection
Christian Garrel, Loukas Vlahos, Heinz Isliker +1
Diffusive Shock Acceleration (DSA) cannot efficiently accelerate particles without the presence of self-consistently generated or pre-existing strong turbulence () i…
Synergy of stochastic and systematic energization of plasmas during turbulent reconnection
Theophilos Pisokas, Loukas Vlahos, Heinz Isliker
The important characteristic of turbulent reconnection is that it combines large scale magnetic disturbances with randomly distributed Unstable Current Sheets (UCSs…
Particle Acceleration and Fractional Transport in Turbulent Reconnection
Heinz Isliker, Theophilos Pisokas, Loukas Vlahos +1
We consider a large scale environment of turbulent reconnection that is fragmented into a number of randomly distributed Unstable Current Sheets (UCS), and we statistically analyze…
Stochastic Fermi Energization of Coronal Plasma during explosive magnetic energy release
Theophilos Pisokas, Loukas Vlahos, Heinz Isliker +2
The aim of this study is to analyze the interaction of charged particles (ions and electrons) with randomly formed particle scatterers (e.g.\ large scale local "magnetic fluctuatio…
Particle Acceleration and Heating by Turbulent Reconnection
Loukas Vlahos, Theophilos Pisokas, Heinz Isliker +2
Turbulent flows in the solar wind, large scale current sheets, multiple current sheets, and shock waves lead to the formation of environments in which a dense network of current sh…
A self-organized criticality model for ion temperature gradient (ITG) mode driven turbulence in confined plasma
Heinz Isliker, Theophilos Pisokas, Dafni Strintzi +1
A new Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) model is introduced in the form of a Cellular Automaton (CA) for ion temperature gradient (ITG) mode driven turbulence in fusion plasmas. Mai…
On symmetric sandpiles
Enrico Formenti, Benoît Masson, Theophilos Pisokas
A symmetric version of the well-known SPM model for sandpiles is introduced. We prove that the new model has fixed point dynamics. Although there might be several fixed points, a p…
