Callen, J D

The research performed under this contract over the past nine months has concentrated on some key tandem mirror plasma confinement and heating issues (heating at the second electron cyclotron harmonic, pumping of electrons by ICRF in Phaedrus, pondermotive force effects on MHD stability, moments approach to tandem mirror transport), and on some aspects of tokamak plasma confinement (long mean free path resistive MHD, Tokapole II equilibria with imbedded coils and internal separatrices, ballooning modes on a divertor separatrix). Progress in these and some other miscellaneous areas are briefly summarized in this progress report.
