Coexistence of Plasmoid and Kelvin–Helmholtz Instabilities in Collisionless Plasma Turbulence published in Astrophysical Journal April 2022
ISC researchers Dario Borgogno e Daniela Grasso have recently published the following interesting work,
“Coexistence of Plasmoid and Kelvin–Helmholtz Instabilities in Collisionless Plasma Turbulence” in The Astrophysical Journal, 929, 62 (2022).
Abstract
The plasmoid formation in collisionless plasmas, where magnetic reconnection within turbulence may take place
driven by the electron inertia, is analyzed. We find a complex situation in which, due to the presence of strong
velocity shears, the typical plasmoid formation, observed to influence the energy cascade in the
magnetohydrodynamic context, has to coexist with the Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability.

ISC for Italian Quantum Weeks – Alla scoperta del mondo dei quanti
Le Italian Quantum Weeks vengono promosse da scienziati, ingegneri, divulgatori ed educatori italiani in occasione del primo World Quantum Day (14 Aprile 2022) con lo scopo di far conoscere meglio il mondo dei quanti e le opportunità che la rivoluzione quantistica sta per portare.
I ricercatori del nostro Istituto hanno contribuito all’organizzazione di diverse iniziative nell’ambito di Italian Quantum Weeks 2022 in collaborazione con il Centro di Ricerca Enrico Fermi, con l’università Sapienza di Roma e con le università di Firenze e Pisa.… Read the rest
