Kinetic simulations of magnetized turbulence in astrophysical plasmas.

Kinetic simulations of magnetized turbulence in astrophysical plasmas.

This Letter presents the first ab initio, fully electromagnetic, kinetic simulations of magnetized turbulence in a homogeneous, weakly collisional plasma at the scale of the ion Larmor radius (ion gyroscale). Magnetic- and electric-field energy spectra show a break at the ion gyroscale; the spectral...
