Title: Elementary Processes Underlying Alpha Channeling in Tokamaks

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1062544

Alpha channeling in tokamaks is speculative, but also extraordinarily attractive. Waves that can accomplish this effect have been identified. Key aspects of the theory now enjoy experimental confirmation. This paper will review the elementary processes of wave-particle interactions in plasma that underlie the alpha channeling effect
