Abstract
Novel constraints on collisionless relaxation and transport in drift-Alfvén turbulence are reported. These constraints arise as a result of the effects of mode coupling and incoherent fluctuations as manifested by the proper application of self-consistency conditions. The result that electrostatic fluctuations alone regulate transport in drift-Alfvén turbulence follows directly. Quasilinear transport predictions are discussed in light of these constraints.Keywords
