    "abstract": "The saturation mechanism of the Weibel instability is investigated\ntheoretically by considering the evolution of currents in numerous cylindrical\nbeams that are generated in the initial stage of the instability. Based on a\nphysical model of the beams, it is shown that the magnetic field strength\nattains a maximum value when the currents in the beams evolve into the Alfven\ncurrent and that there exist two saturation regimes. The theoretical prediction\nof the magnetic field strength at saturation is in good agreement with the\nresults of two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations for a wide range of\ninitial anisotropy.",
