N2 - The tearing mode instability could destroy the plasma confinement in fusion tokamaks and its mechanism is still not fully understood. Here we present the fully kinetic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations of the tearing mode in tokamaks using an energy-conserving and semi-implicit PIC code ECsim. The formation and evolution of magnetic islands are presented and the computation cost proves to be large. More results will be given in the future.
