title = "Large amplitude kinetic alfv{\'e}n excitations in non-Maxwellian plasmas",
abstract = "Kinetic Alfv{\'e}n waves (KAWs) have been studied in a low-β magnetized plasma, consisting of positively charged ions and two non-Maxwellian (kappa-distributed) electron populations. Linear and nonlinear analysis reveals the impact of suprathermal electrons on linear dispersion characteristics and on localized KAW modes (pulses). Super-Alfv{\'e}nic speed negative potential structures are predicted via a Sagdeev-type method, whose characteristics are briefly discussed.",
