  2. 1. Space Plasma Dynamics : Instabilities, Coherent Vortices and Covariant Parametrization

    Author : David Sundkvist; Jan-Erik Wahlund; Andris Vaivads; Stuart Bale; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Space and plasma physics; space physics; plasma; instabilities; turbulence; coherent structures; vortex; self-organization; magnetosphere; waves; electromagnetism; covariant; space instrumentation; Rymd- och plasmafysik; Space physics; Rymdfysik;

    Abstract : The magnetospheric cusps are two funnel-like regions of Earth's magnetosphere where solar wind plasma can have direct access to the ionosphere. The cusps are very dynamic regions where wave-particle interactions continuously take place and redistribute energy among different particle populations. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. Energy Conversion and Particle Acceleration at Turbulent Plasma Jet Fronts

    Author : Louis Richard; Yuri V. Khotyaintsev; Daniel B. Graham; Andris Vaivads; Emiliya Yordanova; Vassilis Angelopoulos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plasma jets; Magnetic reconnection; Particle acceleration; Magnetosphere; Magnetospheric Multiscale; Fysik med inriktning mot rymd- och plasmafysik; Physics with specialization in Space and Plasma Physics;

    Abstract : High-speed plasma flows (jets) are ubiquitous phenomena in the visible Universe. When the fast plasma flow encounters the ambient plasma at rest, it forms a front where its kinetic energy is dissipated. At the jet front, charged particles gain energy from the electromagnetic fields through heating and acceleration. READ MORE

  6. 4. Turbulent impurity transport in tokamaks

    Author : Albert Mollén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gyrokinetic; tokamak; impurity; poloidal asymmetry.; turbulence; transport; fusion plasma physics;

    Abstract : Nuclear fusion is foreseen as one of the options for future energy production. One of the remaining scientific challenges for establishing the physics basis of future magnetic fusion reactors is to find scenarios where the impurity content in the core can be kept low. READ MORE

  7. 5. Radar Signatures of Auroral Plasma Instability

    Author : Nicola Schlatter; Nickolay Ivchenko; Anja Stromme; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ionosphere; Particle Precipitation; Instability; Plasma Turbulence; Fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Incoherent scatter radars are powerful ground based instruments for ionospheric measurements. By analysis of the Doppler shifted backscatter spectrum, containing the signature of electrostatic plasma waves, plasma bulk properties are estimated. READ MORE
