Working Groups
Linear physics : transition from electrostatic (e.g. interchange ) instabilities to Alfvèn waves. Non linear regime : same question. Role of kinetic effects. Key question : dependence of the turbulent flux on beta. Competition between various mechanisms of flow generation when increasing beta (Reynolds stress vs Maxwell tensor).
