## TL;DR

This paper derives the scaling laws of ion and electron temperature gradient driven turbulence in slab geometry using dimensional analysis, confirming previous simulation observations in magnetic fusion contexts.

## Contribution

It introduces a dimensional analysis approach to derive turbulence scaling laws in a simplified slab geometry, extending understanding of plasma turbulence.

## Key findings

- Scaling properties match gyrokinetic simulation results
- Dimensional analysis effectively predicts turbulence behavior
- Simplified model captures key turbulence characteristics

## Abstract

We demonstrate that the scaling properties of slab ion and electron temperature gradient driven turbulence may be derived by dimensional analysis of a drift kinetic system with one kinetic species. These properties have previously been observed in gyrokinetic simulations of turbulence in magnetic fusion devices.
