  2. 1. Drift-Type Waves in Rotating Tokamak Plasma

    Author : Elina Asp; Vladimir Pavlenko; Hans Nordman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Space and plasma physics; fusion; plasma; tokamak; rotation; drift; ship; ITG; TE; Landau; Te Ti; hot-electron; confinement; stiffness; Weiland; Rymd- och plasmafysik; Space physics; Rymdfysik; Space and Plasma Physics; rymd- och plasmafysik;

    Abstract : The concept of energy production through the fusion of two light nuclei has been studied since the 1950’s. One of the major problems that fusion scientists have encountered is the confinement of the hot ionised gas, i.e. the plasma, in which the fusion process takes place. READ MORE

    Abstract : The subject of this thesis is the evolution and dynamics of the plasma environment of a moderately active comet before, during and after its closest approach to the Sun. For over 2 years in 2014-2016, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft followed the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at distances typically between a few tens and a few hundred kilometers from the nucleus, the longest and closest inspection of a comet ever made.

  5. 3. Low-energy ions around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

    Author : Sofia Bergman; Gabriella Stenberg Wieser; Martin Wieser; Gert Brodin; Stein Håland; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Low-energy ions; spacecraft charging; comets; 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko; Rosetta; RPC-ICA; SPIS; diamagnetic cavity; field of view; plasma; space plasma physics; rymd- och plasmafysik; Space and Plasma Physics;

    Abstract : Low-energy ions play important roles in the formation of the plasma environment around a comet. Reliable ways of measuring these ions are therefore of high importance to fully understand the processes and dynamics of this environment. Unfortunately, low-energy ions are infamously difficult to detect. READ MORE

  6. 4. Probing the solar wind evolution with kinetic waves

    Author : Joan Jordi Boldú-O´Farrill Treviño; Daniel B. Graham; Herbert Gunell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; solar wind; plasma; space physics; plasma waves; kinetic theory;

    Abstract : Charged particles constantly stream outward from the Sun to fill the solar system. These particles, consisting mainly of protons and electrons, form a plasma called the solar wind. READ MORE

  7. 5. Solitary waves and enhanced incoherent scatter ion lines

    Author : Jonas Ekeberg; Lars Eliasson; Kristof Stasiewicz; Jan Trulsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plasma waves and instabilities; nonlinear phenomena; solitons and solitary waves; ionosphere; Sun: corona; incoherent scatter radar; MHD; plasmavågor och instabiliteter; ickelinjära fenomen; solitoner och solitära vågor; jonosfär; solen: korona; inkoherent spridningsradar; MHD; Geocosmophysics and plasma physics; Geokosmofysik och plasmafysik; Space physics; Rymdfysik; Plasma physics; Plasmafysik; Non-linear dynamics; chaos; Icke-linjär dynamik; kaos; fysik; Physics; rymd- och plasmafysik; Space and Plasma Physics;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses solitary waves and their significance for auroral particle acceleration, coronal heating and incoherent scatter radar spectra. Solitary waves are formed due to a balance of nonlinear and dispersive effects. READ MORE
