Alfvén wave dissipation via electron energization
[1] It has recently been noted that FAST (Fast Auroral SnapshoT) mission data of auroral current systems associated with Alfvén waves has an electron kinetic energy flux density that is similar to the Poynting vector [Chaston et al., 2002]. In Ultra-Low-Frequency (ULF) wave theory, which considers global wave modes of the magnetosphere (with frequency 1–5 mHz), the traditional dissipation mecha...
متن کاملNonlinear electron magnetohydrodynamics physics. III. Electron energization
Wave-particle interactions of low-frequency whistler modes with wave magnetic fields exceeding the ambient field are investigated experimentally. These highly nonlinear modes are excited with magnetic loop antennas in a large magnetized afterglow plasma. While the nonlinear wave properties are described elsewhere, the present paper focuses on the modification of the electron distribution functi...
متن کاملWeak Alfvén-wave turbulence revisited.
Weak Alfvénic turbulence in a periodic domain is considered as a mixed state of Alfvén waves interacting with the two-dimensional (2D) condensate. Unlike in standard treatments, no spectral continuity between the two is assumed, and, indeed, none is found. If the 2D modes are not directly forced, k(-2) and k(-1) spectra are found for the Alfvén waves and the 2D modes, respectively, with the lat...
متن کاملChiral Alfvén Wave in Anomalous Hydrodynamics.
We study the hydrodynamic regime of chiral plasmas at high temperature. We find a new type of gapless collective excitation induced by chiral effects in an external magnetic field. This is a transverse wave, and it is present even in incompressible fluids, unlike the chiral magnetic and chiral vortical waves. The velocity is proportional to the coefficient of the gravitational anomaly. We brief...
متن کاملLaboratory realization of an Alfvén wave maser.
It is demonstrated that a frequency selective Alfvén-wave resonator can be realized by applying a nonuniform magnetic field to a plasma region bounded between a cathode and a semitransparent mesh anode. When a current threshold is exceeded, selective amplification results in a highly coherent, large amplitude wave that propagates into an adjacent plasma column.
