Abstract
AbstractWe have studied turbulent plasma as a complex system applying the method known as Horizontal Visibility Graph (HVG) to obtain the Kullback-Leibler Divergence (KLD) as a first approach to characterize the reversibility of the time series of the magnetic fluctuations. For this, we have developed the method on Particle In Cell (PIC) simulations for a magnetized plasma and on solar wind magnetic time series, considering slow and fast wind. Our numerical results show that low irreversibility values are verified for magnetic field time series associated with Maxwellian distributions. In addition, considering the solar wind plasma, our preliminary results seem to indicate that greater irreversibility degrees are reached by the magnetic field associated with slow solar wind.
