Zusammenfassung

Space collisionless plasmas present intriguing puzzles to the scientific community. Impulsive energy release events are observed there and challenge our understanding on how energy is transformed from one form to another without particle collisions. The major way of energy transfer in such plasmas is particle interactions with waves. The understanding of how the magnetic energy is transformed to the kinetic and thermal energy of plasma, and how this energy is distributed between different plasma populations is the key problem in space plasma physics.The goals of the project are i) to study the...
