Title: Particle simulations on ion loss at the edge of a tokamak plasma with the radial electric fields

Journal Article · · Fusion Technology
OSTI ID:219829

Particle orbit simulations are carried out to study the ion orbits and loss at the edge of a tokamak plasma. The ion loss conditions are examined as a function of {upsilon}{sub PLL}/{upsilon}{sub 0} and the distance of ion launching points form the magnetic separatrix. The simulation results are compared with the theoretical ones. Good agreements and detailed features are shown in the simulations. 8 refs., 6 figs.
