31 Dec 1996 | | Journal: | Phys. Letters A, v.219, p.293 (1996) | | Subject: | Plasma Physics; Space Physics; Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems | physics.plasm-ph adap-org astro-ph nlin.AO physics.space-ph | | Affiliation: | UCSD | | Abstract: | The saturation of ion cyclotron Alfven turbulence excited by beam particles is investigated using resonance broadening theory. The stochastic scattering which decorrelates particles, includes both random acceleration by electric fields and a turbulent magnetic mirroring effect. Turbulent mirroring is shown to yield non-Gaussian corrections to the orbits even if the random electric and magnetic fields are Gaussian. The predicted steady-state turbulence level exhibits a peaked anglular distribution, with a maximum near Theta ~ 60 degrees. | | Source: | arXiv, physics/9612019 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
