Prosnitz, D

An induction linac-driven free electron laser (FEL) is considered as a potential source of high-average power millimeter radiation for heating tokamaks. The basic physics of the FEL is reviewed, the state of high-power millimeter experiments is summarized, and a preliminary design induction linac-driven FEL for auxiliary heating is described. 21 refs., 8 figs.
