Fully Kinetic versus Reduced-kinetic Modeling of Collisionless Plasma Turbulence

We report the results of a direct comparison between different kinetic models of collisionless plasma turbulence in two spatial dimensions. The models considered include a first-principles fully kinetic (FK) description, two widely used reduced models (gyrokinetic (GK) and hybrid-kinetic (HK) with f...
