Non-Maxwellian ion distributions caused by neoclassical heat conduction
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6243220
It is shown that in tokamaks with neoclassical banana regime heat conduction and ion self collisions dominant for energy scattering, the distribution tail diffuses outwards radially and downwards in energy maintaining a constant effective temperature (- delta lnf/sub i//delta epsilon)/sup -1/, as observed in some experiments.
