Abstract
Plasma β dependence of electromagnetic turbulent transport is investigated by means of gyrokinetic simulations with self-consistent change of the equilibrium magnetic field. It is found that energy transport due to ion-temperature-gradient (ITG) driven turbulence does not decrease with increasing β; that is, the ion energy diffusivity does not decrease, and the electron energy diffusivity increases with β. This is because magnetic fluctuations are significantly influenced by the background magnetic field structure change with β by the Pfirsch-Schluter current. The magnetic field change weakens the suppression effect of magnetic perturbations on the growth of the ITG mode, and it also suppresses nonlinear zonal flow production. The influence of the magnetic field change is significant as the global magnetic shear increases.

Abstract
The physical causes for the strong stabilizing effect of finite plasma β on ion-temperature-gradient-driven turbulence, which far exceeds quasilinear estimates, are identified from nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations. The primary contribution stems from a resonance of frequencies in the dominant nonlinear interaction between the unstable mode, the stable mode, and zonal flows, which maximizes the triplet correlation time and therefore the energy transfer efficiency. A modification to mixing-length transport estimates is constructed, which reproduces nonlinear heat fluxes throughout the examined β range.
