A primary goal of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) Mission is to answer the outstanding
question of how the solar corona plasma is heated to the high temperatures needed for the …

A discussion of the advantages and limitations of the concept of critical balance (CB), as
employed in turbulence phenomenologies, is presented. The incompressible …

Our understanding of processes occurring in the heliosphere historically began with
reduced dimensionality-one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) sketches and …

For the solar wind, a wealth of observational evidence indicates that turbulence is an
important dynamical process for velocity (v), magnetic (b), and other related fluctuations at …

Abstract The Parker Solar Probe mission has shown the ubiquitous presence of strong
magnetic field deflections, namely switchbacks, during its first perihelion where it was …

Plasma turbulence is studied via direct numerical simulations in a two-dimensional spatial
geometry. Using a hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell model, we investigate the possibility of a velocity …

The nature of the cross-scale connections between the inertial-range turbulent energy
cascade and the small-scale kinetic processes in collisionless plasmas is explored through …

Abstract This White Paper outlines the importance of addressing the fundamental science
theme “How are charged particles energized in space plasmas” through a future ESA …

The recent ability to investigate the features of magnetic field fluctuations at ion/sub-ion
scales employing both measurements and simulations has clearly demonstrated how, at …

Two-and-one-half dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of the forward cascade and
dissipation of decaying kinetic Alfvénic turbulence have been carried out on a model of a …
