Gyrobunching and wave–particle resonance in the lower hybrid drift instability
Gyrobunching and wave–particle resonance in the lower hybrid drift instability
We report a first principles study of the coupled evolution of energetic ions, background majority ions, electrons and electromagnetic fields in magnetized plasma during the linear phase of the lower hybrid drift instability. A particle-in-cell code, with one spatial and three velocity space co-ordinates, is used to analyse the evolving …
