Ponderomotive effects in a magnetized plasma
2014 Results concerning the ponderomotive effects in a collisionless magnetized plasma are presented. The main result concerns the fundamental difference between a three-dimensional plasma, which follows a Boltzmann equilibrium, and a two-dimensional plasma, where the high frequency field and the plasma inhomogeneities are perpendicular to the background magnetic field, and where the nonlinear ...
متن کاملCanonical Lie-transform method in Hamiltonian gyrokinetics: a new approach
The well-known gyrokinetic problem regards the perturbative expansion related to the dynamics of a charged particle subject to fast gyration motion due to the presence of a strong magnetic field. Although a variety of approaches have been formulated in the past to this well known problem, surprisingly a purely canonical approach based on Lie transform methods is still missing. This paper aims t...
متن کاملTurbulent 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 کاملPonderomotive force of quasi-particles in a plasma
We derive the force exerted in the background plasma by an arbitrary distribution of non interacting quasi-particles, corresponding to either collective excitations of the plasma (plasmons, phonons) or dressed particles (photons, neutrinos). Our approach is based on the effective Hamiltonian describing the quasi-classical dynamics of the individual particles in the presence of a background medi...
