Kinetic Simulations of the interruption of large-amplitude Shear-Alfvén waves in a high-β plasma

Using two-dimensional hybrid-kinetic simulations, we explore the nonlinear "interruption" of standing and traveling shear-Alfvén waves in collisionless plasmas. Interruption involves a self-generated pressure anisotropy removing the restoring force of a linearly polarized Alfvénic perturba...
