Kinetic theory of Alfven-wave heating in tokamaks

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:6399557
The Alfven wave heating in tokamaks is investigated by means of a linearized kinetic model which includes electron inertia, electron Landau damping and collisional damping, finite ion gyroradius, finite ..omega../..omega../sub ci/, the equilibrium current and magnetic shear. The Alfven waves are excited by an ideal sheet current which is located between the plasma edge and a perfectly conducting wall.
