Comment on "Electromagnetic Global Gyrokinetic Simulation of Shear Alfven Wave Dynamics in Tokamak Plasmas" [Phys. Plasmas 14, 042503 (2007)]

preprint2007arXivOpen access

Abstract

This comment clarifies the relation of the research in a recently published article [Phys. Plasmas 14, 042503 (2007)] to other prior publications addressing the inclusion of electromagnetic and drift-kinetic electron physics in gyrokinetic simulation, raises a concern related to the inclusion of kinetic electrons in a system with magnetic shear, and discusses alternatives in the face of an important limitation on the general applicability of the algorithm described therein.
