Transport of electrons in tangled magnetic fields

Anton Artemyev, Daniel Verscharen, Ida Svenningsson, Jesse T. Coburn, Lynn B. Wilson III, Mario Riquelme, Matthew W. Kunz, Natasha Jeffrey, Oreste Pezzi

Electrons in tangled cosmic magnetic fields mainly follow field lines but can cross them via drifts, waves, trapping, and diffusion.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The transport of electrons in tangled fields results from a complex interplay of plasma processes that occur on a broad range of scales. A combination of in-situ plasma measurements, remote-sensing plasma observations, and plasma theory and simulations is required to resolve this contemporary challenge to the fields of heliophysics and astrophysics.

C2weakest assumption

The premise that magnetic field variations occur on scales large compared to the electron gyro-radius, allowing electrons to be primarily confined to gyro-centre trajectories along field lines.

C3one line summary

The paper reviews electron transport in tangled magnetic fields, including creation via turbulence, modulation by instabilities, trapping, cross-field diffusion, and energization.
