Analysis, based on a local kinetic dispersion relation in the tokamak magnetic geometry incorporating the ion transit frequency and trapped electrons, indicates that modes with positive frequencies are predominant. Unstable "drift"-type modes can have frequencies well above the diamagnetic frequency. They have been identified as the destabilized ion acoustic mode suffering little ion Landau damping even when [Formula: see text].

Abstract. With two-dimensional (2-D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations we investigate the evolution of the double layer (DL) driven by magnetic reconnection. Our results show that an electron beam can be generated in the separatrix region as magnetic reconnection proceeds. This electron beam could trigger the ion-acoustic instability; as a result, a DL accompanied with electron holes (EHs) can be found during the nonlinear evolution stage of this instability. The spatial size of the DL is about 10 Debye lengths. This DL propagates along the magnetic field at a velocity of about the ion-acoustic speed, which is consistent with the observation results.
