Electrostatic Solitary Waves in Multicomponent Nonthermal Plasma

A systematic investigation has been made of ion-acoustic solitary waves in plasma consisting of cold positively and negatively charged ions, as well as nonthermal electrons. The basic features of the solitary waves are investigated by using the reductive perturbation method, which is valid for the small but finite amplitude waves. Computational investigations have been performed to examine the ...

Propagation of Alfvén Waves at the Plasma Sheet Boundary Layer

Recently, observations from the Polar and Cluster satellites have indicated that largeamplitude kinetic Alfvén waves are observed throughout the plasma sheet, particularly at the plasma sheet boundary layers, during substorms. These waves may be directly produced by reconnection processes in the tail, or indirectly through linear or nonlinear mode conversion or by localized plasma flows in the ...

Some properties of Alfvén waves: Observations in the tail lobes and the plasma sheet boundary layer

[1] We report properties of substorm-related, globally excited Alfvén waves on a temporal scale of 6 to 300 s (3.3 to 167 mHz) at geocentric distances between 5 and 6 RE. The waves were observed in the tail lobes and the plasma sheet boundary layer (PSBL) by the Polar satellite. In each region we made the following observations: (1) The tail lobe Alfvén waves started at substorm onset as determ...

Some theoretical models for solitary structures of boundary layer waves

Solitary electrostatic structures have been observed in and around auroral zone field lines at various altitudes ranging from close to the ionosphere, to the magnetopause low-latitude boundary layer (LLBL) and cusp on the dayside, and to the plasma sheet boundary layer on the nightside. In this review, various models based on solitons/double layers and BGK modes or phase space holes are discuss...

Excitation of Slow EM Waves in a Waveguide Having a Thin, Annular Plasma Sheet

A thin, annular plasma sheet in a waveguide slows down the phase velocity of electromagnetic modes in a plasma density window for frequencies below the electron cyclotron frequency via cerenkov interaction. At lower densities, the plasma is not effective enough to reduce the phase velocity of the em waves below c. At higher densities the plasma expels the radiation field leading to enhancement ...
