Evidence for the Helicity Barrier from Measurements of the Turbulence Transition Range in the Solar Wind

Many hot, diffuse astrophysical plasmas are collisionless, with collision times that exceed dynamical timescales of interest. Without a standard viscosity, the mechanisms by which mechanical energy dissipates into heat via a turbulent cascade are complex and nonuniversal, with important consequences...
