Callen, J D

The research performed under this grant over the current 9-1/2 month period has concentrated on some key Phaedrus tandem mirror plasma confinement and heating issues (drift-pumping calculations, ponderomotive force effects, and moment approach to transport), on development of tokamak neoclassical MHD theory (nonlinear equations, instabilities and transport), and on some miscellaneous (mostly tokamak-related) topics (numerical equilibrium and resistive evolution studies for Tokapole II, rippling modes, direct loss effects on plasma moment equations). Progress in these and some other miscellaneous areas are briefly summarized in this progress report.
