Particle Acceleration Mechanisms [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1994 AbstractHigh-energy particle acceleration is observed to proceed in a diverse variety of astrophysical sites ranging from the terrestrial aurorae to the most distant quasars. Particle acceleration is a fairly common channel for the release of large-scale kinetic, rotational, and magnetic energy.

Discussion on Rayleigh equation obtained for a Hall thruster plasma with dust
Journal of Theoretical and Applied Physics, 2018 The present study focuses on the Rayleigh equation derived in the case of a Hall thruster plasma having dust contamination, produced near the exit of the channel due to the finite divergence of the accelerated ions and the sputtering of the walls. In the

Effect of dust on tilted electrostatic resistive instability in a Hall thruster
Journal of Theoretical and Applied Physics, 2018 Effect of negatively charged dust on resistive instability corresponding to the electrostatic wave is investigated in a Hall thruster plasma when this purely azimuthal wave is tilted and strong axial component of wave vector is developed.
