| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We study kinetic plasma turbulence, where kinetic effect of charged particles are important in its dynamics, by using fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations. We focus on heating/acceleration processes associated with dissipation of the kinetic turbulence.
In this study we investigate nonlinear dynamics of whistler mode turbulence. In linear theory, whistler mode does not resonate with ions. However, the fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations demonstrate that ions can be accelerated and/or heated by whistler mode turbulence through its nonlinear developments that include plasma instability and nonlinear intermittent nature of the kinetic turbulence.
