The role of nonlinear Landau damping and the bounced motion of protons in the formation of dissipative structures in the solar wind plasma
The present work examines the effects arising from the nonlinear Landau damping and the bounced motion of protons (trapped in the mirror geometry of the geomagnetic field) in the formation of nonlinear Alfvénic structures. These structures are observed at distances 1-5AU in the solar wind plasma (wi...
