Nonlinear Production of Suprathermal Tails in Auroral Electrons
Differential energy spectra of electrons observed in an auroral breakup show evidence that an incident electron beam of energy E = 6-13 keV, width of 2-5 keV, and variable intensity was stabilized over a period of at least several minutes by the oscillating two-stream instability in the manner previously described by Papadopoulos and Coffey. The critical observed feature predicted by these auth...
متن کاملMulti-ion plasma expansion in the presence of suprathermal electrons
The self similar expansion of a two-ion plasma is investigated via a multi-fluid model. Our aim is to elucidate the effect of secondary ions on the plasma expansion front, in combination with energetic (suprathermal) electrons in the background. Considering an analytically tractable situation (namely, assuming secondary ions to represent a minority population), and adopting a kappa-type distrib...
متن کاملGyrokinetic turbulence simulations with kinetic electrons*
Gyrokinetic turbulence simulations are presented with full drift-kinetic electron dynamics including both trapped and passing particle effects. This is made possible by using a generalization of the split-weight scheme �I. Manuilskiy and W. W. Lee, Phys. Plasmas 7, 1381 �2000�� that allows for a variable adiabatic part, as well as use of the parallel canonical momentum formulation. Linear simul...
متن کاملDispersion relation for electron waves propagating in an isotropic plasma containing Maxwellian and suprathermal electrons
The paper discusses the dispersion relation for longitudinal electron waves propagating in a collisionless, homogeneous isotropic plasma, which contains both Maxwellian and suprathermal electrons. I t is found that the dispersion curve, known to have two separate branches for zero suprathermal energy spread, depends sensitively on this quantity. As the energy half-width of the suprathermal popu...
متن کاملEect of suprathermal electrons on the intensity and Doppler frequency of electron plasma lines
In an incoherent scattering radar experiment, the spectral measurement of the so-called upand downshifted electron plasma lines provides information about their intensity and their Doppler frequency. These two spectral lines correspond, in the backscatter geometry, to two Langmuir waves travelling towards and away from the radar. In the daytime ionosphere, the presence of a small percentage of ...
