Abstract
First of a kind 6D-Vlasov computer simulations of high frequency ion Bernstein wave turbulence for parameters relevant to the tokamak edge show transport comparable to sub-Larmor-frequency gyrokinetic turbulence. The customary restriction of magnetized plasma turbulence studies to the gyrokinetic approximation may not be based on physics but only on a practical constraint due to computational cost. Deciphering turbulent transport is crucial since edge turbulence significantly influences the confinement properties of magnetically confined plasmas. Despite the high computational costs, performing 6D kinetic simulations is essential for understanding the limitations of our current models. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
