Fluctuation dynamo in a collisionless, weakly magnetized plasma
- Abstract:
-
Results from a numerical study of fluctuation dynamo in a collisionless, weakly magnetized plasma are presented. The key difference between this dynamo and its magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) counterpart is the adiabatic production of magnetic-field-aligned pressure anisotropy by the amplification of a weak seed field. This, in turn, drives kinetic instabilities on the ion-Larmor scale - namely, firehose and mirror - which sever the adiabatic link between the thermal and magnetic pressures, thereby...
