abstract

For collisionless (or collision-poor) plasma populations which are well described by the $\kappa$-distribution functions (also known as the Kappa or Lorentzian power-laws) a macroscopic interpretation has remained largely questionable, especially because of the diverging moments of these distributions. Recently significant progress has been made by introducing a generic regularization for the isotropic $\kappa$-distribution, which resolves this critical limitation. Regularization is here applied to the anisotropic forms of $\kappa$-distributions, commonly used to describe temperature anisotropies, and skewed or drifting distributions of beam-plasma systems. These regularized distributions admit non-diverging moments which are provided for all positive $\kappa$, opening promising perspectives for a macroscopic (fluid-like) characterization of non-ideal plasmas.

Relativistic regularized kappa distributions

astro-ph.HE · 2025-05-16 · conditional · novelty 5.0

The authors define a special relativistic regularized kappa distribution that keeps all moments finite for every positive kappa, while the standard relativistic kappa distribution requires kappa greater than 2 or 3.
