Amplitude limits and nonlinear damping of shear-Alfvén waves in high-beta low-collisionality plasmas

Amplitude limits and nonlinear damping of shear-Alfvén waves in high-beta low-collisionality plasmas

This work, which extends Squire et al ( Astrophys. J. Lett. 2016 https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8205/830/2/L25 830 https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8205/830/2/L25 ), explores the effect of self-generated pressure anisotropy on linearly polarized shear-Alfvén fluctuations in low-collisionality plasmas.
