Diffusion at the Earth magnetopause: enhancement by Kelvin-Helmholtz instability
Using hybrid simulations, we examine how particles can diffuse across the Earth's magnetopause because of finite Larmor radius effects. We focus on tangential discontinuities and consider a reversal of the magnetic field that closely models the magnetopause under southward interplanetary mag...
