Linear theory and measurements of electron oscillations in an inertial Alfv en wave

The physics of the aurora is one of the foremost unsolved problems of space physics. The mechanisms responsible for accelerating electrons that precipitate onto the ionosphere are not fully understood. For more than three decades, particle interactions with inertial Alfv en waves have been proposed as a possible means for accelerating electrons and generating auroras. Inertial Alfv en waves hav...

Localization of linear kinetic Alfv en wave in an inhomogeneous plasma and generation of turbulence

This paper presents a model for the propagation of Kinetic Alfv en waves (KAWs) in inhomogeneous plasma when the inhomogeneity is transverse to the background magnetic field. The semi-analytical technique and numerical simulations have been performed to study the KAW dynamics when plasma inhomogeneity is incorporated in the dynamics. The model equations are solved in order to study the localiza...

Investigation of an ion-ion hybrid Alfv en wave resonator

A theoretical and experimental investigation is made of a wave resonator based on the concept of wave reflection along the confinement magnetic field at a spatial location where the wave frequency matches the local value of the ion-ion hybrid frequency. Such a situation can be realized by shear Alfv en waves in a magnetized plasma with two ion species because this mode has zero parallel group v...

Temporal Evolution of Drift Alfv en Waves in an Inhomogeneous Plasma with Homogeneous Shear Flow

The temporal evolution of drift-Alfv en waves in a plasma ow with homogeneous shear is studied as an initial value problem without the use of spectral expansion in time. It is shown that the conventional modal structure of the drift-Alfv en instability (as well as drift and Alfv en waves) pertains only in the initial stage of its evolution. For larger times, non-modal e ects due to the velocity...
