Excitation of radially propagating electrostatic shear Alfvén wave during the formation of ambipolar radial electric field in a stochastic magnetic field

A radially propagating electrostatic shear Alfvén wave (ωH mode) is found during the formation of ambipolar radial electric field in a magnetic stochastic layer through gyrokinetic simulation. It is found that the times scale of the ambipolar radial electric field formation is the damping time of th...
