Funded Activity Summary

Dynamics of Bursty Waves in Space and Astrophysics. Waves in space plasmas typically occur in bursts with widely variable fields and persist, with their driving particle distributions, for unexpectedly long times. These features cannot be accounted for with standard plasma theory but are explained naturally by stochastic growth theory (SGT). Recent observations show SGT to be widely applicable in space. We propose to make SGT fully quantitative, by studying the dynamical evolution to SGT in general and in known SGT systems, and to develop and observationally test theories based on SGT and associated wave/radiation processes for major, long-unexplained radio phenomena in space and in astrophysics.
