  2. 6. Waves in space plasmas : Lower hybrid cavities and simple-pole distribution functions

    Author : Anders Tjulin; Mats André; Hans Pécseli; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Space and plasma physics; space physics; plasma; waves; dispersion relations; lower hybrid cavities; Cluster; magnetosphere; Rymd- och plasmafysik; Space physics; Rymdfysik;

    Abstract : Waves are a fundamental feature in many parts of physics, since they transport energy without transporting matter. This is the case also in space physics. Waves are responsible for energy transport both between different parts of space and between different particles in the space plasma. READ MORE

  4. 7. Interaction between Electromagnetic Waves and Localized Plasma Oscillations

    Author : Jan-Ove Hall; Thomas Leyser; Jan Trulsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Space and plasma physics; space physics; plasma physics; radio waves; ionospheric modification; density depleations; field-aligned irregularities; lower hybrid solitary structures; lower hybrid cavities; Z mode waves; magnetosonic waves; scattering; mode conversion; Rymd- och plasmafysik; Space physics; Rymdfysik;

    Abstract : This thesis treats interaction between electromagnetic waves and localized plasma oscillations. Two specific physical systems are considered, namely artificially excited magnetic field-aligned irregularities (striations) and naturally excited lower hybrid solitary structures (LHSS). READ MORE

    Keywords : Rosetta; comet; 67P; RPC-LAP; RPC-MIP; RPC-ICA; RPC-MAG; ROSINA-COPS; Langmuir probe; spacecraft potential; plasma; Churyumov-Gerasimenko; ion composition analyzer; diamagnetic cavity; ion velocity; electron temperature; ion-neutral drag; collisional coupling; wake effects; filamentation; electron cooling; plasma waves; hybrid waves; Bernstein waves; minimum variance; polarization; wavelet; density fluctuations; magnetic field oscillations; drift-cyclotron instability; asymmetric plasma and magnetic field enhancements; Fysik med inriktning mot rymd- och plasmafysik; Physics with specialization in Space and Plasma Physics;

    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.

  6. 9. Advanced Plasma Analyzer for Measurements in the Magnetosphere of Jupiter

    Author : Joan Stude; Stas Barabash; Martin Wieser; Joseph H. Westlake; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plasma instrumentation; time-of-flight; space; Jupiter; JUICE; PEP; JDC; start surface; charge fraction; the final frontier; accidental counts; chance counts; micro pore optics; spherical-wedge electrostatic analyzer; rymd- och plasmafysik; Space and Plasma Physics; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer is a planetary exploration mission that aims to study the moons of Jupiter in the planet’s vast magnetosphere. Among the various instruments on board is the Particle Environment Package (PEP), that is led by the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) in Kiruna. READ MORE

  7. 10. Lower hybrid current drive in the Tore Supra tokamak

    Author : Emelie Nilsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fusion plasma physics; fast electron dynamics; launcher; tokamak; radio frequency waves; lower hybrid current drive;

    Abstract : To control and extract energy from nuclear fusion reactions, a mixture of deuterium and tritium gases must be heated to temperatures on the order of 100 million degrees, whilst maintaining a sufficiently high density. The main difficulty is to confine the ionised gases, i.e. plasma, until the rate of fusion reactions becomes large enough. READ MORE
