Many advances in understanding space plasma phenomena have been linked to insight
derived from theoretical modeling and/or laboratory experiments. Advances for which …

The subject of lower-hybrid solitary structures (LHSS), sometimes called lower-hybrid
cavities, is reviewed. LHSS are spatially localized structures embedded in space plasmas …

Fractional Fokker–Planck equation is proposed for the kinetic description of relaxation and
superdiffusion processes in constant magnetic and random electric fields. It is assumed that …
