Scientific paper

The issue of spectral cascade and plasma heating in Alfvenic turbulence is a major unsolved problem in plasma physics. A massively parallel 3D Gyro-kinetic particle-in-cell code is developed to study spectral cascading and dissipation of Alfvenic turbulence with fully self-consistent nonlinear kinetic effects. A magnetic energy spectrum with index of "-5/3" in the inertial range has been observed from the gyrokinetic simulation. Further study of energy spectrum in both inertial and dissipation range and particle heating will be done using this code.
