Title: Tokamak currents driven by weak electrostatic waves

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5205568· OSTI ID:5205568
;

The generation of steady state currents by weak electrostatic waves is examined via a perturbative treatment. An exact solution of the first order equation is found. The amount of power required to sustain currents is evaluated.
