The cosmic large-scale structures of the Universe are mainly the result of the gravitational
instability of initially small-density fluctuations in the dark-matter distribution. Dark matter …

Chorus emission in planetary magnetospheres is taken as working paradigm to motivate a
short tutorial trip through theoretical plasma physics methods and their applications. Starting …

This paper presents quasilinear theory (QLT) for a classical plasma interacting with
inhomogeneous turbulence. The particle Hamiltonian is kept general; for example …

A complete quasilinear model is derived for the electrostatic acceleration-driven lower
hybrid drift instability in a uniform two-species low-beta plasma in which current is …

An open problem of the derivation of the relativistic Vlasov equation for systems of charged
particles moving with velocities up to the speed of light and creating the electromagnetic …

The unshielded nature of gravity means that stellar systems are inherently inhomogeneous.
As a result, stars do not move in straight lines. This obvious fact severely complicates the …

The first section of any coherent electron cooling (CeC) system is the modulator, where the
density of the electron beam is modulated by the copropagating ion beam. This density …

It is known that the gravitational collapse of cold dark matter leads to infinite-density caustics
that seed the primordial dark-matter haloes in the large-scale structure. The development of …

Frequency chirping of Alfvén modes, a phenomenon observed in tokamak fusion plasmas
driven by energetic particles (EPs), can result in significant losses of EPs. In this study, we …

In a plasma, the charged particles interact via long-range forces, and this interaction causes
the plasma to exhibit collective effects. If the graininess or coupling parameter g goes to zero …
