Notes:
In this paper a one-dimensional Darwin quasineutral hybrid simulation code is used to investigate the large spatial scale (λ∼c/ωpi) low-frequency (ω∼ωci) collisionless evolution of a plasma slug of finite width traveling parallel to an ambient magnetic field in the presence of a uniform background plasma. Such a system may cause excitation of large amplitude magnetosonic waves and mixing of the background and slug ions. Under certain conditions, background ions and slug ions are driven upstream of the interaction region. Particular attention is paid to the width of the plasma slug, thermal effects, the anomalous resistivity, and the relative velocity of the two plasmas.
