  The possibility of fast dynamo action by collisionless kinetic Alfven Wave
turbulence is demonstrated. The irreversibility necessary to lock in the
generated field is provided by electron Landau damping, so the induced electric
field does not vanish with resistivity. Mechanisms for self-regulation of the
system and the relation of these results to the theory of alpha quenching are
discussed. The dynamo-generated fields have symmetry like to that of zonal
flows, and thus are termed zonal fields.
