Turbulent Heating in Computer Simulations of the Modified Plasma Two-Stream Instability

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Computer simulations of the fluidlike modified two-stream instability, driven by relative electron-ion drifts across a magnetic field, show strong anomalous plasma heating. The electron and ion heating rates are comparable and result in ion thermal speeds which approach the relative drift speed within a few ion plasma periods.
