Abstract

Ion turbulence is expected to play an important role in anomalous transport. Thus an original approach is proposed here to study trapped-ion instability. A Vlasov code is used to determine the behaviour of the instability near the threshold and compared with analytical solutions of the Vlasov equation. Some interesting features which appear in the nonlinear regime are discussed.
