Effects of neutral injection upon toroidal plasma equilibria

Book ·
OSTI ID:4421357
From third international symposium on toroidal plasma confinement; Garching, Germany (26 Mar 1973). The equilibrium distribution functions of the three-species plasma (high-energy ions, background ions and electrons) is derived. First, the high-energy ion distribution is found from a solution of an appropriate Fokker-- Planck equation that takes into account the toroidal geometry, then the plasma current is calculated from the electron distribution function. Finally, the influence of ripples in the toroidal field upon the toroidal velocity of the background plasma is evaluated. (GE)
