Scientific paper
In this talk, I review recent progress in understanding the physics underlying the electromagnetic fluctuations in the dissipation range of solar wind turbulence. This regime of kinetic turbulence represents a particular challenge for theoretical and numerical modeling as well as for analysis and interpretation of spacecraft measurements. I will present a fairly complete theoretical framework for understanding the dissipation range turbulent fluctuations, the mechanisms responsible for their dissipation, and the resulting plasma heating. I will review supporting and conflicting evidence for this theoretical picture from nonlinear kinetic simulations and novel analysis of spacecraft measurements.
