Particle-in-cell simulation study of the parametric instabilities and turbulence of Alfven-ion-cyclotron waves in a low-...
Parametric instabilities of Alfven-ion-cyclotron (AIC) waves and the turbulence driven by them are investigated using a particle-in-cell simulation technique. By introducing anisotropic ion temperature, a broad spectrum of AIC wave is excited. In addition to the normal AIC waves, their harmonic modes and upper sideband modes are found. Through the ...
