Plasma Microinstabilities

Plasma Microinstabilities is a theoretical construct in plasma kinetic theory that identifies small-scale, self-sustained electromagnetic or electrostatic fluctuations arising from non-equilibrium particle distribution functions, which drive anomalous transport and turbulence in magnetized plasma through wave-particle interactions.
