Description
The effect of the electron parallel compressibility (that is proportional to the ion sound Larmor radius) on the collisionless MHD modes is studied for δe ≥ ρs by the gyro-kinetic particle simulation. The growth rate before the internal collapse is found to be enhanced nonlinearly due to the electron parallel compressibility, although the linear growth is mediated by the electron inertia. As the electron skin depth decreases, the growth rate of the m=1 kink mode saturates by an geometrical effect which is independent of the microscopic scales. (author)
