Popis: Using electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulations Winske and Daughton [Phys Plasmas, 19, 072109, 2012] have recently demonstrated that the nonlinear evolution of a wave turbulence initiated by cold ion ring beam is vastly different in three dimensions than in two dimensions. We further analyze the Winske-Daughton three dimensional simulation data and show that the nonlinear induced scattering by thermal plasma particles is crucial for understanding the evolution of lower hybrid/whistler wave turbulence as described in the simulation.
