Interestingly, collisionless plasmas in various physical\u0000scenarios, (e.g., the ion population of the solar wind) feature a $v^{-5}$ tail\u0000in the velocity ($v$) distribution, whose origin has been a long-standing\u0000mystery. We show this power law tail to be a natural outcome of the\u0000self-consistent collisionless relaxation of driven electrostatic plasmas. We\u0000perform a quasilinear analysis of the perturbed Vlasov-Poisson equations to\u0000show that the coarse-grained mean distribution function (DF), $f_0$, follows a\u0000quasilinear diffusion equation with a diffusion coefficient $D(v)$ that depends\u0000on $v$ through the plasma dielectric constant. If the plasma is isotropically\u0000forced on scales much larger than the Debye length with a white noise-like\u0000electric field, then $D(v)sim v^4$ for $sigma<v<omega_{mathrm{P}}/k$, with\u0000$sigma$ the thermal velocity, $omega_{mathrm{P}}$ the plasma frequency and\u0000$k$ the maximum wavenumber of the perturbation; the corresponding $f_0$, in the\u0000quasi-steady state, develops a $v^{-left(d+2right)}$ tail in $d$ dimensions\u0000($v^{-5}$ tail in 3D), while the energy ($E$) distribution develops an $E^{-2}$\u0000tail irrespective of the dimensionality of space. Any redness of the noise only\u0000alters the scaling in the high $v$ end. Non-resonant particles moving slower\u0000than the phase-velocity of the plasma waves ($omega_{mathrm{P}}/k$)\u0000experience a Debye-screened electric field, and significantly less (power law\u0000suppressed) acceleration than the near-resonant particles. Thus, a Maxwellian\u0000DF develops a power law tail. The Maxwellian core ($v<sigma$) eventually also\u0000heats up, but over a much longer timescale than that over which the tail forms.\u0000We definitively show that self-consistency (ignored in test-particle\u0000treatments) is crucial for the development of the universal $v^{-5}$ tail.","PeriodicalId":501423,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Space Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142178258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A magnetic flux rope is a key\u0000structure for solar eruptions, and when it carries a southward magnetic field\u0000component when propagating to the Earth. It is the primary driver of strong\u0000geomagnetic storms. As a result, developing a numerical model capable of\u0000capturing the entire progression of a flux rope, from its inception to its\u0000eruptive phase, is crucial for forecasting adverse space weather. The existence\u0000of such flux ropes is revealed by the presence of sigmoids in active regions or\u0000hot channels by observations from space and ground instruments. After proposing\u0000cartoons in 2D, potential, linear, non-linear-force-free-field (NLFFF) and\u0000non-force-free-field (NFFF) magnetic extrapolations, 3D numerical\u0000magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation models were developed, first in a static\u0000configuration and later dynamic data-driven MHD models using high resolution\u0000observed vector magnetograms.

These highly non-thermal distributions make minor ions sensitive probes\u0000of the underlying collisionless heating processes, which are crucial to coronal\u0000heating and the creation of the solar wind. The recent discovery of the\u0000\"helicity barrier\" offers a mechanism where imbalanced Alfv'enic turbulence in\u0000low-beta plasmas preferentially heats protons over electrons, generating\u0000high-frequency, proton-cyclotron-resonant fluctuations. We use the\u0000hybrid-kinetic particle-in-cell code, Pegasus++, to drive imbalanced Alfv'enic\u0000turbulence in a 3D low-beta plasma with additional passive ion species,\u0000He$^{2+}$ and O$^{5+}$. A helicity barrier naturally develops, followed by\u0000clear phase-space signatures of oblique ion-cyclotron-wave heating and\u0000Landau-resonant heating from the imbalanced Alfv'enic fluctuations. The former\u0000results in characteristically arced ion velocity distribution functions, whose\u0000non-bi-Maxwellian features are shown by linear ALPS calculations to be critical\u0000to the heating process. Additional features include a steep transition-range\u0000electromagnetic spectrum, the presence of ion-cyclotron waves propagating in\u0000the direction of imbalance, significantly enhanced proton-to-electron heating\u0000ratios, anisotropic ion temperatures that are significantly more perpendicular\u0000with respect to magnetic field, and extreme heating of heavier species in a\u0000manner consistent with empirically derived mass scalings informed by\u0000measurements. None of these features are realized in an otherwise equivalent\u0000simulation of balanced turbulence. If seen simultaneously in the fast solar\u0000wind, these signatures of the helicity barrier would testify to the necessity\u0000of incorporating turbulence imbalance in a complete theory for the evolution of\u0000the solar wind.","PeriodicalId":501423,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Space Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141946756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
