    • Analytical treatment of particle motion in circularly polarized slab-mode wave fields 

      Schreiner, Cedric; Spanier, Felix; Vainio, Rami (Cambridge Univ Press, 2018)
      Wave–particle interaction is a key process in particle diffusion in collisionless plasmas. We look into the interaction of single plasma waves with individual particles and discuss under which circumstances ...

    • Asymptotic analysis of solitons and double layers at the acoustic speed 

      Olivier, Carel P.; Verheest, Frank; Maharaj, Shimul K. (Cambridge Univ Press, 2017)
      In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behaviour of solitons and double layers. By using the Sagdeev pseudopotential formalism, a Taylor series expansion is used to derive the asymptotic behaviour. For solitons and ...

    • Numerical modelling of the microphysical foundation of astrophysical particle acceleration 

      Schreiner, Cedric (North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)
      The acceleration and transport of solar energetic particles have been intensively studied ever since the discovery of relativistic particles originating from the Sun. Both processes are tightly connected to the dynamics ...

    • Plasma waves as a benchmark problem 

      Kilian, Patrick; Schreiner, Cedric; Spanier, Felix; Munoz, Patricia A. (Cambridge Univ Press, 2017)
      A large number of wave modes exist in a magnetized plasma. Their properties are determined by the interaction of particles and waves. In a simulation code, the correct treatment of field quantities and particle behaviour ...
