The acceleration of charged particles by interplanetary shocks (IPs) can drain a non-negligible fraction of the plasma pressure. In this study, we have selected 17 IPs observed in-situ at $1\,\text{au}$ by the Advanced Composition Explorer…

Electron-impact ionization of an atom or ion in the presence of a neighboring atom is studied. The latter is first collisionally excited by the incident electron, whose energy is assumed to be high but nonrelativistic. Afterwards, the…

2I/Borisov - hereafter 2I - is the first visibly active interstellar comet observed in the solar system, allowing us for the first time to sample the composition of a building block from another system. We report on the monitoring of 2I…

Based on quantum theory, we investigate the distribution of the electrons scattered in nonlinear Compton effect by an electromagnetic plane wave. Deviations of the final electron momentum from its initial value are solely due to quantum…

We report a detailed study of features of electron-impact excitation (EIE) of Ca IV for the first time using the relativistic Breit-Pauli R-Matrix method with a large close coupling wavefunction expansion of 54 fine structure levels…

We employ a recently developed three-dimensional semiclassical model to identify nondipole effects in triple ionization of Ne driven by infrared laser pulses at intensities where electron-electron correlation prevails. This model fully…

Electronic excitations and ionisations produced by electron impact are key processes in the radiation-induced damage mechanisms in materials of biological relevance, underlying important medical and technological applications, including…

Sunquakes are one of the more distinct secondary phenomena related to solar flares, where energy deposition in the lower layers of the Sun's atmosphere excites acoustic waves easily visible in Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI)…

Interplanetary Scintillation (IPS) induces intensity fluctuations in small angular size astronomical radio sources via the distortive effects of spatially and temporally varying electron density associated with outflows from the Sun. These…

We analyzed the energy and momentum distributions of laser-induced high-energy photoelectrons of alkali and rare gas atoms. For the plateau electrons with energies above $4U_p$, ($U_p$ is the ponderomotive energy), in the tunneling…

Experimental studies of electron-ion collision rates in an ultracold neutral plasma (UNP) can be conducted through measuring the rate of electron plasma oscillation damping. For sufficiently cold and dense conditions where strong coupling…

Ion acoustic (IA) solitons are accompanied by vortex-shaped nonlinear structures (e.g. hollows, plateaus or humps) in the electron distribution function, called electron holes, portraying trapped electrons. These structures appear as…

Scattering, during interplanetary transport in large, "gradual" solar energetic-particle (SEP) events, can cause element abundance enhancements or suppressions that depend upon the mass-to-charge ratio A/Q of the ions as an increasing…

Using a three-dimensional quasiclassical technique we explore molecular double ionization by a linearly polarized, infrared (800 nm) and ultrashort (6 fs) laser pulse. We first focus on intensities corresponding to the tunneling regime and…

Reproducing the observed activity of comets with thermophysical models remains a primary challenge of cometary science. We use a pebble-based thermophysical model of gas-pressure build-up in the subsurface to reproduce the global emission…

The accurate determination of the lowest electron attachment ($EA$) and ionization ($IP$) energies for molecules embedded in molecular junctions is important for correctly estimating, \emph{e.g.}, the magnitude of the currents ($I$) or the…

Ion resonance instability of toroidal electron plasmas in a tight aspect ratio axisymmetric toroidal device is reported for ${Ar}^+$ ions of different initial density values using a high fidelity 3D3V PIC solver. Stability of a recently…

We present a further investigation into the increased ionization observed in element charge states in the fast solar wind compared to its coronal hole source regions. Once ions begin to be perpendicularly heated by ion cyclotron waves and…

Electron heating and ionization dynamics in capacitively coupled radio frequency (RF) atmospheric pressure microplasmas operated in helium are investigated by Particle in Cell simulations and semi-analytical modeling. A strong heating of…

Certain forms of solar wind transients contain significant enhancements of dynamic pressure and may effectively drive magnetosphere dynamics, including substorms and storms. An integral element of such driving is the generation of a wide…
