    • Analytical treatment of particle motion in circularly polarized slab-mode wave fields 

      Schreiner, Cedric; Spanier, Felix; Vainio, Rami (Cambridge Univ Press, 2018)
      Wave–particle interaction is a key process in particle diffusion in collisionless plasmas. We look into the interaction of single plasma waves with individual particles and discuss under which circumstances ...

    • Asymptotic analysis of solitons and double layers at the acoustic speed 

      Olivier, Carel P.; Verheest, Frank; Maharaj, Shimul K. (Cambridge Univ Press, 2017)
      In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behaviour of solitons and double layers. By using the Sagdeev pseudopotential formalism, a Taylor series expansion is used to derive the asymptotic behaviour. For solitons and ...

    • Plasma waves as a benchmark problem 

      Kilian, Patrick; Schreiner, Cedric; Spanier, Felix; Munoz, Patricia A. (Cambridge Univ Press, 2017)
      A large number of wave modes exist in a magnetized plasma. Their properties are determined by the interaction of particles and waves. In a simulation code, the correct treatment of field quantities and particle behaviour ...
