Abstract
The aims of the solar system programme at UCL-MSSL are to break new ground in the understanding of the physical processes at work within each of our theme topics:
a) solar magnetic activity, its causes, consequences, and influence on the Solar System
b) solar wind formation and propagation and evolution through the heliosphere; including the source of the solar wind and understanding which regions on the Sun control the solar wind, and in-situ dynamics of energy transport in space plasmas.
c) solar wind interaction with the Earth's magnetosphere; including solar wind physics at kinetic and large scales, reconnection, magnetospheric acceleration and transport processes and processes controlling the aurora and radiation belts
d) solar wind and plasma interactions at other planetary environments; including ionospheric processes, comet-plasma interactions, planetary magnetospheric plasma and charged dust populations and processes driving aurorae and X-ray emission in atmospheres and on surfaces
e) planetary surface formation processes; including cratering chronology and dynamic feature tracking via super-resolution restoration
These goals are addressed using data from space- and ground- based instruments, and modelling.

Planned Impact
Our research has substantial impact, for example its relevance to emerging space weather activities, spinouts from miniaturized plasma instrumentation studies, tests of an automatic crack detection system in steel plants in the UK and Austria. Training and outreach are also key areas in our programme, consistent with STFC priorities. For example, many staff and students engage with schools and groups via talks & activities, and participate in frequent media appearances.
The research in projects 1-11 is closely aligned with one or more STFC Key Scientific Challenges (https://www.stfc.ac.uk/challenges). The projects are all in highly research-active fields, addressing questions of the physical laws responsible for the Sun, the heliosphere and Solar System bodies. Our proposed science activities capitalize on major investments made by the UK and others in space hardware, and are preparatory to maximizing science return from future missions to which the UK is making major financial contributions. MSSL is thus very well placed to do this and to lead early publications from the new missions.
The broad relevance the work in projects 1-11 is in the extension of knowledge and understanding of the Solar System. There are also specific relevancies in education, instrumentation and space weather with medium- to long-term commercial opportunities. Projects 1-8, and 10, directly address the 'science behind space weather', and will provide important new results.
Our research will have substantial Academic impact, and Economic and Societal Impact. These, with our Track Record, are described in the Impact Plan.

| Impact | These are early times on the path to make public engagement in UK space missions more widespread and effective. Most of the work in this area is on a voluntary, best effort basis by academic and research staff. The WP argues for a more systematic, organised and well funded support of public engagement activities. Small, individual grant applications for outreach are often the only means to realise activities. Direct interaction by academics, researchers, PhD students with school pupils and teachers, especially in disadvantaged parts of the country, is a very effective, successful and rewarding way to engage the young in space projects. |

| Title | Three-dimensional magnetic reconnection in particle-in-cell simulations of anisotropic plasma turbulence (Simulation Data) |
| Description | This folder contains the output of the following simulation: We use the explicit Plasma Simulation Code (PSC, Germaschewski et al.2016) to simulate eight anisotropic counter-propagating Alfvén waves in an ion-electron plasma. The anisotropy of the initial fluctuation is set up according to the theory of critical balance by Sridhar & Goldreich (1994) and Goldreich & Sridhar (1995) at the small scale end of the inertial range: \(k_{\parallel} d_{i} = C (|k_{\perp}|d_{i})^{2/3}\), where \(C= 10^{-4/3}\). The normalization parameters are the speed of light \(c = 1\), the vacuum permittivity \(\epsilon_{0} = 1\), the magnetic permeability \(\mu_{0} = 1\), the Boltzmann constant \(k_{b}=1\), the elementary charge \(q=1\), the ion mass \(m_{i}=1\), the density of ions and electrons \(n_{i}=n_{e}=1\) and the ion inertial length \(d_{i}=c/\omega_{pi}\) where \(\omega_{pi}=\sqrt{n_{i}q^{2}/m_{i}\epsilon_{0}}\) is the ion plasma frequency. We set \(\beta_{s,\parallel}=1\) and \(T_{s,\parallel}/T_{s,\perp}=1\), where \(\beta_{s,\parallel}=2 n_s \mu_{0} k_{B}T_{s,\parallel}/B_{0}^{2}\) is the ratio between the plasma pressure parallel to the background magnetic field \(\mathbf{B}_{0}\) and the magnetic pressure and $T_{s,\parallel}$ is the parallel temperature. The magnetic field is normalised to \(B_{0}=V_{A}/c\), where \(V_{A}=B_{0} / \sqrt{\mu_{0}n_{i}m_{i}}\) is the ion Alfvén speed. We use 100 particles per cell (100 ions and 100 electrons), a mass ratio of \(m_{i}/m_{e} = 100\) so that \(d_e = 0.1 d_{i}\) where \(m_{e}\) is the electron mass and \(d_{e}\) is the electron inertial length. The simulation box size is \(L_{x} \times L_{y} \times L_{z} = 24d_{i}\times24d_{i}\times125d_{i}\) and the spatial resolution is \(\Delta x =\Delta y = \Delta z = 0.06d_{i}\). We use a time step \(\Delta t =0.06/ \omega_{pi}\). In our normalisation, the Debye length \(\lambda_{D}=d_{i}\sqrt{\beta_{i}/2}V_{A}/c\) defines the minimum spatial distance that needs to be resolve in the simulation and \(\lambda_D=0.07d_i\). This output corresponds to \(t=120 \omega_{pi}\). These data were produced using the Data Intensive at Leicester (DIaL) facility provided by the DiRAC project dp126 "Identifying and Quantifying the Role of Magnetic Reconnection in Space Plasma Turbulence". |

| PI Contribution | Daniel Verscharen is the Mission co-PI Science for the Debye mission proposal. This mission is closely related to to his STFC fellowship project since it directly relates electron microphysics to large-scale thermodynamics. With the mission PI Robert Wicks, Daniel Verscharen developed the mission idea and prepared the phase-one proposal to ESA in 2018. After acceptance of the phase-one proposal, he has directed and organised the preparation of the science section of the phase-two proposal. He has participated in weekly telecons with the team and presented Debye at multiple national and international meetings. He has set up and maintains the mission's twitter account @DebyeMission for outreach. In 2021, ESA published the second F-class call. The Debye team has submitted a second iteration of the phase-one proposal in February 2022. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The Debye mission is a large multi-national mission. The partners have provided expertise in the writing of the mission proposal and the design of spacecraft hardware. |
| Impact | The mission concept was successful in ESA's downselection in December 2018 and ended up as the backup mission for the first F-class. Debye is multi-disciplinary due to its strong relevance to astrophysics and laboratory plasma physics, and our research team includes colleagues from these fields. |

| Title | ALPS |
| Description | Daniel Verscharen has developed the ALPS code that solves the linear hot plasma dispersion relation in a plasma with arbitrary background distribution functions. The code was developed in close collaboration with Kristopher Klein from the University of Arizona. This code is a versatile and universal numerical tool for the whole plasma community (space, astrophysics, and laboratory plasmas). It calculates plasma dispersion relations in plasmas with an arbitrary number of species with arbitrary background distributions that can be provided as a table or as a closed mathematical expressions. Although the code was initially developed at UNH, important modifications, the publication of the code paper, and the publication of the code were led by UCL/MSSL with support from STFC. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2023 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | The code is available on github and has already been downloaded by other researchers and students and used for their publications. The source code is publicly available so that other users can modify it and use it in their work. |
| URL | http://alps.space |
| Title | HolmMHD |
| Description | The HolmMHD code is a numerical code to solve the isotropic and adiabatic magnetohydrodynamics equations in a periodic box. It uses an efficient MPI parallelisation scheme, so that the code runs successfully on HPC facilities. HolmMHD has been tested in turbulence simulations and standard MHD benchmarking simulations. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2019 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | The fully open-access nature if the code makes it possible for researchers to use the code without any financial commitment. This is especially useful for early-career researchers and researchers from developing countries. |
