   @tomas Not sure. Problem with GK is when equilibrium varies rapidly (e.g. tokamak edge). Conceivably could occur in space plasmas...

     New paper (not mine). Fully kinetic #PlasmaPhysics rather than gyrokinetic http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4999945 #FusionEnergy Interesting!

     @tomas Potentially. Gyrokinetics good in tokamak core. Assumptions possibly violated at edge. Fully kinetic would avoid that problem but...

     @tomas ... Worth asking you colleagues though. I'd be interested to hear whether they think it could be relevant.
