Turbulence and kinetic processes in magnetized space plasmas have been extensively investigated over the past decades via in-situ spacecraft measurements, theoretical models …
Due to its ubiquitous presence, turbulence is often invoked to explain the origin of nonthermal particles in astrophysical sources of high-energy emission. With particle-in-cell …
How turbulent energy is dissipated in weakly collisional space and astrophysical plasmas is a major open question. Here, we present the application of a field-particle correlation …
A new path for the generation of a sub-ion-scale cascade in collisionless space and astrophysical plasma turbulence, triggered by magnetic reconnection, is uncovered by …

The understanding of the fundamental properties of turbulence in collisionless plasmas, such as the solar wind, is a frontier problem in plasma physics. In particular, the occurrence …

Abstract Properties of the turbulent cascade from fluid to kinetic scales in collisionless plasmas are investigated by means of large-size 3D hybrid (fluid electrons, kinetic protons) …
A discussion of the advantages and limitations of the concept of critical balance (CB), as employed in turbulence phenomenologies, is presented. The incompressible …
We present results from a three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation of plasma turbulence, resembling the plasma conditions found at kinetic scales of the solar wind. The spectral …
Spatial and high‐time‐resolution properties of the velocities, magnetic field, and 3‐D electric field within plasma turbulence are examined observationally using data from the …
