Energy transfer of trapped electron turbulence in tokamak fusion plasmas

Abstract The first principle gyrokinetic simulations of trapped electron turbulence in tokamak fusion plasmas demonstrate the energy transfers from the most linearly unstable modes at high $$k_\theta \rho _i\sim 1$$ k θ ρ i ∼ 1 to intermediate $$k_\theta$$ k θ via parametric decay process in a short...
