Drift waves in a turbulent plasma
Abstract
We study the dispersion equation of drift waves in the presence of electron- plasma turbulence in a plasma with magnetic shear. We show that the shear stabilization can be cancelled out by a hot turbulent spectrum, even for a low level of turbulence, W/n0Te 1.
