Coherent nonlinear effects on electromagnetic wave-particle interactions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a basic introduction to the fundamental features of coherent nonlinear wave-particle and wave-wave interactions in magnetized plasmas, and the main subjects are: (1) trapping dynamics in the electrostatic wave, (2) nonlinear phase trapping and phase bunching in the electromagnetic wave both in homogeneous and inhomogeneous plasas, and (3) coherent three wave interactions.

Nonlinear mechanisms for drift wave saturation and induced particle transport
A. M. Dimits,W. W. Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory is developed that explains the nonlinearly saturated phase of the evolution of drift instabilities in gyrokinetic particle simulations, and the saturation level is determined by a balance between the steadystate electron and ion fluxes.

Turbulence structure of high‐β perpendicular fast shocks
TL;DR: In a high-β plasma ion cyclotron radius, dispersion forms a trailing wave train for a perpendicular fast shock and collisionless dissipation is provided by the three-wave decay of the wave train into very oblique fast and parallel Alfven waves as discussed by the authors.
Multiple-Scale Physics During Magnetic Reconnection
TL;DR: Jara-Almonte et al. as discussed by the authors explored two different mechanisms for cross-scale coupling during magnetic reconnection in a collisionless plasma using particle-in-cell simulations and demonstrated that large scale reconnection physics can couple to and drive microscopic instabilities, even in two dimensional systems if significant scale separation exists between the Debye length and the electron skin depth.

Electron mirror branch: observational evidence from “historical” AMPTE-IRM and Equator-S measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, Noreen et al. showed that lion roars (whistlers) excited by the trapped resonant electron component in the high-temperature anisotropic collisionless plasma of the magnetosheath near the dayside magnetopause are responsible for trapping of electrons and resonantly exciting high-frequency whistlers.
