Electron resonant interactions with electromagnetic whistler-mode waves play an important role in electron flux dynamics various space plasma systems: planetary radiation belts, bow shocks, solar wind and magnetic reconnection regions. Two key wave characteristics determining the regime of wave–particle are intensity coherency. The classical quasi-linear diffusion approach describes well by inc...

Abstract A reliable and accurate laser ablation multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS) method was developed for analysis of inhomogeneous samples containing uranium particles or aggregates various enrichments. For the development, a mixed solid standard prepared using 1% 3% 235 U enriched certified reference materials. After screening localization interest, ...

[1] The helicon modes are studied in Earth’s magnetotail using the Harris sheet as a model of its equilibrium. The plasma sheet is divided into two regions: In region 1 both the electrons and the ions are treated as magnetized, whereas in region 2 the electrons are treated as magnetized but the ions are unmagnetized. The eigenmode equation for the low-frequency, parallel propagating right-hand ...

Electromagnetic processes associated with a charged particle moving in a strong circular magnetic field are considered in cylindrical coordinates. We investigate the relation between the vacuum curvature emission and Cherenkov emission and argue that, for the superluminal motion of a particle in the inhomogeneous magnetic field in a dielectric, the combined effects of magnetic field inhomogenei...

While the propagation and refraction of waves and shocks which constitute Mach cones have been well studied in continuous slowly varying stratified media such as gases, liquids, and solids, here we investigate these processes at the kinetic, discrete (or "molecular") level in a complex plasma where the stratification scale is of the order of the damping length. The shape of Mach cones formed by...

The eeect of laser light self-focusing (SF) in speckles on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in an inhomogeneous plasma is studied. It is found that below but near critical power SF dramatically enhances the SBS reeectivity from an individual speckle, while above the critical power the pump power depletion due to SBS prevents strong SF and limits the maximum laser intensity in a speckle. Th...
