The Moon: A Unique Laboratory for Study of the Fundamental Physics of Magnetized Collisionless Plasmas
Abstract
The wide range of sizes of lunar surface magnetic fields allow the study of the transition from kinetic to fluid phenomena, and the decoupling of ions and then electrons from the magnetic fields as the ambient plasmas interact with surface fields.
