Fig. 7.

Output of the eQL model using the strong (left panels) and weak (right panels) set of plasma parameters with realistic proton-to-electron mass ratio. Top panels: electron distribution function at different time instants in the direction parallel to the magnetic field. Grey vertical dashed lines correspond to v = 2vthe ≈ vphz. Bottom panels: evolution supra-thermal electron density in Eq. (12). Vertical dashed line indicate the nonlinear time τNL in Eq. (16). Horizontal dotted gray lines indicate the results of Eq. (20). We note that time axes are different for the two simulations.
