Kinetic plasma physics of the solar corona and solar wind are reviewed with emphasis on
the theoretical understanding of the in situ measurements of solar wind particles and waves …

In this tutorial, a brief overview of Alfvén wave solutions in fluid and kinetic systems and
parametric instabilities of Alfvén waves is provided. As a class of relaxed states in fluid …

The proton velocity distribution functions (VDFs) observed in the solar wind often show
beam components. In this study, by means of one‐dimensional hybrid simulation, parametric …

It has been recently shown that the presence of large amplitude left‐hand polarized waves
can change the linear properties of ion‐beam plasma electromagnetic instabilities …

In the present study, the dissipation processes of circularly polarized Alfvén waves in solar
wind plasmas including beam components are numerically discussed by using a 2-D hybrid …

Proton distributions in fast solar winds often have a beam component with a differential
streaming speed near the local Alfvén speed. The Alfvén speed and differential streaming …

We study the effect of a large‐amplitude left‐hand polarized wave on ion acoustic
instabilities. We show that the presence of a finite amplitude left‐hand polarized wave …

We study the influence of nonlinear circularly polarized waves, propagating backward
relative to the external magnetic field, on the behavior of linear instabilities in a system …

We review the effect of finite amplitude circularly polarized waves on the behavior of linear
ion-beam plasma instabilities. It has been shown that left-hand polarized waves can …

This paper studies the effect of nonlinear left-hand polarized waves supported by a proton
beam on the linear circularly polarized instabilities driven by the same beam. It shows that …
