Kp index
Physics; Plasma physics
A 3-hourly planetary geomagnetic index of activity generated in Gottingen, Germany, based on the K index from 12 or 13 stations distributed around the world.
drift motion
Physics; Plasma physics
Ordinarily particles placed in a magnetic field will simply orbit in circles, but if the magnetic field is not uniform, or curves, or there is an electrical field perpendicular to the magnetic field, ...
adiabatic
Physics; Plasma physics
Not involving an exchange of heat between the system said to be adiabatic and the rest of the universe.
kinetic theory
Physics; Plasma physics
The derivation of the bulk properties of fluids from the properties of fluids from the properties of their constituent molecules, their motions and interactions.
adiabatic invariant
Physics; Plasma physics
Characteristic parameters which do not change as a physical system slowly evolves; the most commonly used one in plasma physics is the magnetic moment of a charged particle spiraling around a ...
