In simulations of turbulent plasma transport due to long wavelength (k perpendicular to p(i) <= 1) electrostatic drift-type instabilities, we find a persistent nonlinear up-shift of the effective threshold. Next-generation tokamaks will likely benefit from the higher effective threshold for turbulent transport, and transport models should incorporate suitable corrections to linear thresholds. The gyrokinetic simulations reported here are more realistic than previous reports of a Dimits shift because they include nonadiabatic electron dynamics, strong collisional damping of zonal flows, and finite electron and ion collisionality together with realistic shaped magnetic geometry. Reversing previously reported results based on idealized adiabatic electrons, we find that increasing collisionality reduces the heat flux because collisionality reduces the nonadiabatic electron microinstability drive.
