Non-Gaussian statistics in space plasma turbulence: fractal properties and pitfalls

Statistical properties of collisionless plasmas in the vicinity of the Earth's bow shock are investigated with the aim to characterize the intermittent behaviour of non- magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. The structure functions of the fluctuating magnetic field reveal an incre...
