摘要:

这份为2020年十年期等离子体调查提交的白皮书涉及弱碰撞、高β等离子体的物理学--在这些等离子体中,热压力占主导地位,磁压力占主导地位,粒子间碰撞时间与体运动的特征时间尺度相当。这种物质状态虽然在宇宙中广泛存在,但人们对它的了解仍然很少:我们缺乏一个预测性的理论来解释它如何对扰动做出反应,如何传输动量和能量,以及如何产生和放大磁场。这些课题是等离子体科学研究的基础,并且对于那些将等离子体物理视为基本物理学科的人具有内在的兴趣。但这些主题也是外在的兴趣:解决它们直接告知我们对各种空间和天体物理系统的理解,包括超大质量黑洞周围的吸积流,星系团中星系之间的团内介质(ICM),以及近地太阳风区域。推进这一领域的研究的具体建议进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

This white paper, submitted for the Plasma 2020 Decadal Survey, concerns the physics of weakly collisional, high-beta plasmas -- plasmas in which the thermal pressure dominates over the magnetic pressure and in which the inter-particle collision time is comparable to the characteristic timescales of bulk motions. This state of matter, although widespread in the Universe, remains poorly understood: we lack a predictive theory for how it responds to perturbations, how it transports momentum and energy, and how it generates and amplifies magnetic fields. Such topics are foundational to the scientific study of plasmas, and are of intrinsic interest to those who regard plasma physics as a fundamental physics discipline. But these topics are also of extrinsic interest: addressing them directly informs upon our understanding of a wide variety of space and astrophysical systems, including accretion flows around supermassive black holes, the intracluster medium (ICM) between galaxies in clusters, and regions of the near-Earth solar wind. Specific recommendations to advance this field of study are discussed.
