摘要:

非热幂律分布函数在天体物理/空间(例如日冕风)和实验室等离子体中广泛观察到,其起源尚不明确。另一个令人困惑的现象是日冕中的温度倒置。这两个问题密切相关。我们开发了一种自洽的准线性理论(QLT)用于电磁驱动的等离子体,推导出一个福克-普朗克方程,用于多个物种的同时弛豫,包括(i)一个驱动扩散系数用于直接通过驱动加热被驱动粒子和间接通过波加热,以及(ii)Balescu-Lenard扩散和拖拽系数用于内部湍流和库仑碰撞。电子和离子分布向具有 $v^{-5}$ $(E^{-2})$ 尾部的通用吸引子弛豫,类似于 $κ= 1.5$ 分布,在超德拜(但次拉莫尔)驱动下具有陡峭的功率谱。这是德拜屏蔽的结果:大尺度场加速未屏蔽的快速粒子,但不屏蔽的慢粒子。这种普遍性可能因浅功率谱和不完全弛豫而被打破。碰撞不能减速超热粒子,使高 $v$ 尾部免受麦克斯韦化。这种尾部可能在日冕中由色球对流生成,尽管存在碰撞损失。超热粒子逃离太阳引力(速度过滤),倒转温度剖面并将其提高到 $10^6$ K。通过具有 $κ\approx 1.5-2$ 分布的适当速度过滤分析,受QLT启发,可以合理地拟合重离子的光谱数据,并解释温度骤升,这是 $κ\to 1.5$ 限制下的压力发散的后果。

英文摘要:

The origin of non-thermal power-law distribution functions ubiquitously observed in astrophysical/space (e.g., the solar wind) and laboratory kinetic plasmas, is not well understood. Another puzzling phenomenon is temperature inversion in the solar corona. These two issues are deeply connected. We develop a self-consistent quasilinear theory (QLT) for electromagnetically driven kinetic plasmas, deriving a Fokker-Planck equation for the simultaneous relaxation of multiple species, with (i) a drive diffusion coefficient for the heating of dressed particles directly by the drive and indirectly by waves, and (ii) Balescu-Lenard diffusion and drag coefficients for internal turbulence and Coulomb collisions. Both electron and ion distributions relax towards a universal attractor with a $v^{-5}$ $(E^{-2})$ tail, akin to a $κ= 1.5$ distribution, under a super-Debye (but sub-Larmor) drive with a steep power-spectrum. This is an outcome of Debye screening: large-scale fields accelerate the unscreened, fast particles but not the screened, slow ones. The universality may be broken by shallow power-spectra and incomplete relaxation. Collisions cannot decelerate suprathermal particles, rendering a high $v$ tail immune to Maxwellianization. Such a tail may be generated in the solar corona by chromospheric convection despite collisional losses. The suprathermal particles escape sun's gravity (velocity filtration), inverting the temperature profile and raising it to $10^6$ K. A proper analysis of velocity filtration with a $κ\approx 1.5-2$ distribution inspired by QLT provides a reasonable fit to the spectroscopic data of heavy ions and explains the abrupt temperature rise, a consequence of the divergence of pressure in the $κ\to 1.5$ limit.
