Turbulent dynamo in a collisionless plasma.
Magnetic fields pervade the entire universe and affect the formation and evolution of astrophysical systems from cosmological to planetary scales. The generation and dynamical amplification of extragalactic magnetic fields through cosmic times (up to microgauss levels reported in nearby galaxy clusters, near equipartition with kinetic energy of plasma motions, and on scales of at least tens of ...
متن کاملThe Magnetorotational Instability in a Collisionless Plasma
We consider the linear axisymmetric stability of a differentially rotating collisionless plasma in the presence of a weak magnetic field; we restrict our analysis to wavelengths much larger than the proton Larmor radius. This is the kinetic version of the magnetorotational instability explored extensively as a mechanism for magnetic field amplification and angular momentum transport in accretio...
متن کاملA Lagrangian Theory for Nonlinear Wave Packets in a Collisionless Plasma
A Lagrangian, for the slowly varying complex amplitude of an almost monocbromatio electrostatio plasma wave in an unmagnetized plasma, is derived. The method is a va,riant of the averaged Lagrangian technique of whitham, adoptod for uso in plasma pbysics by employing Low's Lagrangian, together with certain elimination procedures to simplify the Lagrangian to usable form. The erpansion in powers...
متن کاملMeasurement of the ion drag force in a collisionless plasma with strong ion-grain coupling
The ion drag force acting on dust grains was measured experimentally in a low-pressure Ar plasma in the regime of strong ion-grain coupling. Argon ions were drifting in the axial ambipolar electric field naturally present in a hot-filament dc discharge plasma. Following the method of Hirt et al. Phys. Plasmas 11, 569
متن کاملCollisionless Plasma Flow over a Conducting Sphere
A nonlinear interaction between the whistler mode wave packet and resonantparticles is considered. An evolution of the packet’s shape is investigated in detail. Nonlinear effects produced by the interaction of whistlers with resonant particles have been discussedin a large number of papers (e.g. Roux and Solomon, 1970; Coriniti et al., 1971; Bud’ko ef al., 1971).However, either pack...
