Nonlinear 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 کاملAlfvén 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 کاملProton and electron acceleration by quasi-perpendicular fast magnetosonic shocks in interplanetary space
Recent observations from the Ulysses spacecraft (Simnett 2003, Sol. Phys., 213, 387) have measured the energy spectrum of the ambient ions associated with the passage of a fast magnetosonic quasi-perpendicular shock driven by a coronal mass ejection (CME). Near the shock front the energy spectrum of the accelerated ions, which are predominantly protons, exhibits features (maxima) at about 250 k...
متن کاملFormation of electron holes and particle energization during magnetic reconnection.
Three-dimensional particle simulations of magnetic reconnection reveal the development of turbulence driven by intense electron beams that form near the magnetic x-line and separatrices. The turbulence collapses into localized three-dimensional nonlinear structures in which the electron density is depleted. The predicted structure of these electron holes compares favorably with satellite observ...
متن کامل6 Electron Injection at High Mach Number Quasi - Perpendicular Shocks : Surfing and Drift Acceleration
Electron injection process at high Mach number collisionless quasi-perpendicular shock waves is investigated by means of one-dimensional electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulations. We find that energetic electrons are generated through the following two steps : (1) electrons are accelerated nearly perpendicular to the local magnetic field by shock surfing acceleration at the leading edge of t...
