Current filamentation in parallel-field turbulent plasmas

  • 1. Max-Planck Institut fur Plasmaphysik, Garching, West Germany

Description

An electromagnetic instability leading to filamentation of the current flowing along a magnetic field in a highly resistive plasma is investigated. The instability provides a possible explanation of the discrepancy that exists between turbulent-heating experiments and numerical simulations of the electrostatic parallel-field current-driven instability
