Abstract Text:
Anomalous conductivity due to instabilities is an important feature of E⨉B driven plasmas (see Refs 1,2). An important question that remains in this regime is whether the most unstable drift-cyclotron instabilities remain important or if ``demagnetization'' occurs that makes the modes more like ion sound. Long term behavior of the system has proven to be surprisingly challenging to simulate numerically with sufficient accuracy. We discuss recent work related to the evolution of fluctuations and associated heating observed in simulations, as well as analytical theory behind these phenomena.
