The non-linear evolution of a magnetic island is studied using the Vlasov gyro-kinetic code GKW. The interaction of electromagnetic turbulence with a self-consistently growing magnetic island, generated by a tearing unstable >0 current profile, is considered. The turbulence is able to seed the magnetic island and bypass the linear growth phase b…
