Plasma is a state of matter in which an ionized gaseous substance becomes highly electrically conductive to the point that long-range electric and magnetic fields dominate the behaviour of the matter.

The plasma state can be contrasted with the other states: solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma is an electrically neutral medium of unbound positive and negative particles (i.e. the. Description.

For arbitrary field fluctuations along the path of a particle, an approximate diffusion. Fourier spectra of magnetic field fluctuations observed by various spacecraft in the different domains of the magnetotail at quiet or moderately disturbed times demonstrated a number of practically universal features: (1) the presence of two kinks at low ($${\sim}5\times 10^{-2}~\mathrm{Hz}$$) and high (\({\sim}5\times 10^{-1}~\mathrm{Hz Cited by:   The long-standing problem of plasma diffusion across a magnetic field (B-field) is reviewed, with emphasis on low-temperature linear devices of finite length with the magnetic field aligned along an axis of these partially ionized plasmas, cross-field transport is dominated by ion–neutral collisions and can be treated simply with fluid by: Abstract.

When the amplitudes of instability waves grow, many other modes are induced by non-linear effects. The small scale modes die out by the large damping effect which results from the diffusion along the magnetic field B (See the second term of eq.

In this paper the diffusion of guiding centers induced by stochastic magnetic and electric field fluctuations, with both time and space dependence, is analyzed for the case of tokamak plasmas.

General experimental results on tokamak fluctuations are used to derive guiding‐center equations that properly describe the particle motion. These equations assume uniform average magnetic and electric Cited by: 5. Using the quasilinear kinetic theory of transport, it is shown that, contrary to the conventional description, the particle flow from magnetic fluctuations due to local normal modes is intrinsically ambipolar on spatial average.

This follows essentially from the local frame rotational invariance in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic by: Electromagnetic dispersion relation for cross-field beam injected plasma.

For both conditions, the regions outside the plasma jets have large fluctuations due to vortices, while the plasma core regions have negligibly small fluctuation because high-temperature plasmas offer much larger viscosities. When the magnetic field is applied, the fluctuation is suppressed by: 5.

The flux (4) can now be written as r = n,v = nep.E - (5) A diffusion-like is obtained by inserting the flux into the continuity equation 3. Present conjecture is that global-scale, low-frequency electromagnetic fluctuations, perhaps induced by solar wind buffeting of the magnetosphere or time-dependent atmospheric dynamo processes, allow particles to randomly traverse magnetic field lines to close-in distances, gaining energy in the process.

We have discussed above that the plasma particles are connected to the magnetic field, in such a way that they gyrate around the field. At the same time, when the magnetic field is moving, the plasma is moving along. However, we also know that a magnetic field can diffuse through a region with conductivity σ with a characteristic time scale τ.

Diffusive shock acceleration is the theory of particle acceleration through multiple shock crossings. In order for this process to proceed at a rate that can be reconciled with observations of high-energy electrons in the vicinity of the shock, and for cosmic rays protons to be accelerated to energies up to observed galactic values, significant magnetic field amplification is required.
