Comment on "Paleoclassical Transport in Low-Collisionality Toroidal Plasmas"

Journal Article · · Physics of Plasmas
OSTI ID:936960
Paleoclassical transport [1] is a recently proposed fundamental process that is claimed to occur in resistive plasmas and to be missing in the collisional drift-kinetic equations (DKE) in standard use. In this Comment we raise three puzzles presented by paleoclassical transport as developed in [1], one to do with conservation and two concerning uniqueness.
