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...

description 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 the ωH mode. The frequency and damping rate of the ωH mode are theoretical derived, which are in good agreement with the simulation results.
