Anomalous resistivity resulting from electrostatic ion cyclotron turbulence
Abstract
The paper considers the generation of electrostatic ion cyclotron turbulence in an isothermal isotropic magnetized plasma where the drift velocity is below that of the ion-acoustic threshold. The saturated turbulence spectrum is found to be that which results from anomalous nonlinear wave damping related to stochastic ion-orbit diffusion in configuration space. An expression is obtained for the collective electrical resistivity resulting from current-driven electrostatic ion cyclotron turbulence.
