Demagnetization diagnostics in collisionless space plasma layers
A recently proposed set of demagnetization diagnostics [Scudder et al., submitted to Physics of Plasmas, 2015] is related to the preconditions of Guiding Center Theory (GCT) and benchmarked in kinetic particle-in-cell simulations. Specifically, GCT requires that the time and length scales of the fie...
