2D particle-in-cell simulations of the electron temperature anisotropy driven whistler instability in plasmas having kappa velocity distributions

This study presents the results of 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of the electron temperature anisotropy driven whistler instability for plasmas in which the electron species is modeled by a bi-kappa velocity distribution. These simulations utilize our previously developed method to generate...
