Hybrid formulation of guiding-center Hamiltonian theory for astrophysical plasmas — •Felipe Nathan Oliveira1, Simon Lautenbach2, Rainer Grauer2, and Daniel Told1 — 1Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik — 2Ruhr-Universität Bochum
Higher-order Lie-transform perturbative methods applied to the Hamiltonian formulation of guiding-center motion are widely used to describe the dynamics of particles in plasma physics [1][2][3]. Therewithin, the elegant and compact Lagrangian formulation allows for the derivation of the equations of motion from the L two-form, or sympletic two-form, wL = −dxi ∧ dpi ∈ Λ2 T* M . Where T* M represents a linear space T tangent to a manifold M [4].
In the present work, a consistent Lagrangian model that encapsulates fully kinetic ions and gyrokinetic electrons for solar wind and fusion electromagnetic turbulence is studied. Using a consistent method [5], both electrons and protons are treated with the same mathematical formalism. We plan to derive and implement a model in which high frequency waves and kinetic electron effects[6] are computed in a cost-effective way.
