Collisionless current sheet equilibria

T Neukirch, F Wilson, O Allanson2018年Plasma Physics and Controlled FusionIF 2.2出版社

Current sheets are important for the structure and dynamics of many plasma systems. In space and astrophysical plasmas they play a crucial role in activity processes, for example by facilitating the release of magnetic energy via processes such as magnetic reconnection. In this contribution we will focus on collisionless plasma systems. A sensible first step in any investigation of physical processes involving current sheets is to find appropriate equilibrium solutions. The theory of collisionless plasma equilibria is well established, but over the past few years there has been a renewed interest in finding equilibrium distribution functions for collisionless current sheets with particular properties, for example for cases where the current density is parallel to the magnetic field (force-free current sheets). This interest is due to a combination of scientific curiosity and potential applications to space and astrophysical plasmas. In this paper we will give an overview of some of the recent developments, discuss their potential applications and address a number of open questions.

電流シートは、多くのプラズマ系の構造と力学にとって重要である。宇宙・天体プラズマにおいて、それらは活動過程において決定的な役割を果たし、例えば磁気リコネクションなどの過程を通じて磁気エネルギーの解放を促進する。本稿では、無衝突プラズマ系に焦点を当てる。電流シートを含む物理過程の研究における妥当な第一歩は、適切な平衡解を見つけることである。無衝突プラズマ平衡の理論は確立されているが、ここ数年、特定の性質を持つ無衝突電流シートの平衡分布関数を見つけることへの関心が再び高まっている。例えば、電流密度が磁場に平行な場合(力のない電流シート)である。この関心は、科学的興味と宇宙・天体プラズマへの応用可能性の両方に起因している。本稿では、最近の進展の概要を示し、それらの応用可能性を議論し、いくつかの未解決問題に取り組む。
