Engineering-Physics Space Plasma Seminar - Richard Denton, Dartmouth

Title: "Measuring Total Density and Modeling Mass Density"

7/26/2022

11 am – 12 pm

Wilder 202 and Zoom

Sponsored by: Physics & Astronomy Department, Thayer School of Engineering

Intended Audience(s): Public

Categories: Lectures & Seminars

Abstract: There are significant problems measuring the total plasma density because of spacecraft charging and the low flux of low energy particles. But wave measurements can be used to measure the total electron and mass density. Here I show some problems with a database of particle instrument density measurements, show evidence that density based on wave measurements are fairly accurate, discuss methods for modeling, and show and discuss models for mass density.
