Tandem transport and ambipolarity in the resonant plateau regime

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6245885
;
A simple model for ion radial transport in the resonant plateau regime is derived. It is shown that the ion loss rate is insensitive to the radial electric field over a wide range of parameters. Using this result, and the expression for the electron flux, a self-consistent picture of ambipolar tandem operation for quadrupole symmetric systems is obtained and compared with experiment.
