71. Solar coronal heating and wind acceleration: Insights from Parker Solar Probe

Anna Tenerani (University of Texas, USA)

10. Basic plasma theory

Invited

The solar wind carries a broadband of fluctuations in density, velocity and magnetic fields that, at the large scales, have been interpreted in terms of an ongoing magnetohydrodynamic turbulent cascade. Alfvénic fluctuations have indeed been commonly observed in the solar wind since the first in-situ measurements, and they are thought to provide a possible mechanism to heat the solar corona at...

63. Fast ion-induced transport barriers in global gyrokinetic simulations

Alessandro Di Siena (University of Texas at Austin)

3. Plasma confinement, neoclassical and turbulent plasma transport

Invited

The performance of magnetic confinement devices is determined mainly by turbulent transport inducing particle and energy losses, and limiting plasma confinement. Among the different experimental actuators of turbulence, supra-thermal particles – generated via external heating – are typically considered one of the most efficient in suppressing ion-temperature-gradient (ITG) driven turbulence....
