Kinetic simulations underestimate the effects of waves during magnetic reconnection
Collisionless plasma systems are often studied using fully kinetic simulations, where protons and electrons are treated as particles. Due to their computational expense, it is necessary to reduce the ion-to-electron mass ratio m_{i}/m_{e} or the ratio between plasma and cyclotron frequencies in simu...
