A probabilistic approach to heterogeneity in space plasmas: the case of magnetic field intensity in solar wind
Since the early 90s it was shown that Probability Distribution Functions (PDFs) of small scale differences (fluctuations) of several quantities in space plasmas display significant departures from Gaussianity. The non-Gaussian shape of PDFs was ascribed to intermittency and discussed in the framewor...
