ITG turbulence in gyrokinetic simulations of high collisionality spherical tokamak plasmas

This paper presents a first detailed gyrokinetic analysis with the goal of understanding the dominant turbulent transport mechanisms and identifying the micro-instabilities present in small-aspect-ratio plasmas in the PI3 device, developed as magnetized target fusion targets. These plasmas are chara...
