Area of Science:

  • Plasma Physics
  • Astrophysical Plasmas
  • Space Plasma Physics

Background:

  • Electron-positron plasmas are crucial in astrophysical and high-energy phenomena.
  • The role of ions in such plasmas and their influence on wave dynamics are not fully understood.
  • Low-frequency drift waves are fundamental to plasma turbulence and transport.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of low-frequency drift waves in electron-positron-ion plasmas.
  • To analyze the coupling of drift waves with shear Alfvén waves in these complex plasmas.
  • To explore the formation and characteristics of nonlinear structures, such as dipolar vortices.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis of plasma wave dynamics.
  • Derivation of wave equations in electromagnetic and electrostatic limits.
