From page 161...
... The computational discovery of nonlinear coherences that compensate for linear damping of microinstability modes in tokamal~s calls into question the use of quasilinear correlation functions to estimate transport consequences of microinstabilities in tokamaks. Nonlinear Laser-Plasma Interaction Virtually all of the many instabilities driven by intense electromagnetic waves interacting with plasma were identified theoretically and studied in laserplasma experiments during the past decade.
