We present two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of the fully kinetic collisionless magnetorotational instability (MRI) in weakly magnetized (high β) pair plasma. The central result of this numerical analysis is the emergence of a self-induced turbulent regime in the saturation state of the c...
