Ultrarelativistic generalized Lorentzian thermodynamics and the differential cosmic ray energy flux

open access: yes, 2017
We apply the ultrarelativistic generalized Lorentzian quasi-equilibrium thermodynamic energy distribution to the energy spectrum of galactic cosmic ray fluxes.

On the entropy of plasmas described with regularized $\kappa$-distributions

open access: yes, 2018
In classical thermodynamics the entropy is an extensive quantity, i.e.\ the sum of the entropies of two subsystems in equilibrium with each other is equal to the entropy of the full system consisting of the two subsystems.

Alfven Wave Collisions, The Fundamental Building Block of Plasma Turbulence II: Numerical Solution

open access: yes, 2013
This paper presents the numerical verification of an asymptotic analytical solution for the nonlinear interaction between counterpropagating Alfven waves, the fundamental building block of astrophysical plasma turbulence. The analytical solution, derived

Fast Magnetic Reconnection: "Ideal" Tearing and the Hall Effect

open access: yes, 2017
One of the main questions in magnetic reconnection is the origin of triggering behavior with on/off properties that accounts, once it is activated, for the fast magnetic energy conversion to kinetic and thermal energies at the heart of explosive events ...

Wave spectra of 2D dusty plasma solids and liquids

open access: yes, 2009
Brownian dynamics simulations were carried out to study wave spectra of two-dimensional dusty plasma liquids and solids for a wide range of wavelengths.

Transition from ion-coupled to electron-only reconnection: Basic physics and implications for plasma turbulence

open access: yes, 2019
Using kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we simulate reconnection conditions appropriate for the magnetosheath and solar wind, i.e., plasma beta (ratio of gas pressure to magnetic pressure) greater than 1 and low magnetic shear (strong guide ...

Tracking shocked dust: state estimation for a complex plasma during a shock wave

open access: yes, 2011
We consider a two-dimensional complex (dusty) plasma crystal excited by an electrostatically-induced shock wave. Dust particle kinematics in such a system are usually determined using particle tracking velocimetry.

Magnetic Helicity Conservation and Inverse Energy Cascade in Electron Magnetohydrodynamic Wave Packets

open access: yes, 2011
Electron magnetohydrodynamics (EMHD) provides a fluid-like description of small-scale magnetized plasmas. An EMHD wave (also known as whistler wave) propagates along magnetic field lines.

Effective attraction between oscillating electrons in a plasmoid via acoustic waves exchange

open access: yes, 2011
We consider the effective interaction between electrons due to the exchange of virtual acoustic waves in a low temperature plasma. Electrons are supposed to participate in rapid radial oscillations forming a spherically symmetric plasma structure.

Analysis of fast turbulent reconnection with self-consistent determination of turbulence timescale

open access: yes, 2019
We present results of Reynolds-averaged turbulence model simulation on the problem of magnetic reconnection. In the model, in addition to the mean density, momentum, magnetic field, and energy equations, the evolution equations of the turbulent cross ...
