The research is directed toward the development and testing of new numerical methods for particle and hybrid simulation of plasmas and their application to physical problems of current significance to Magnetic Fusion Energy. During the past year, research on the project has been concerned with the following specific problems: (i) Analysis and computer simulations of the dissipative trapped-electron instability in tokamaks. (ii) Computer simulation of field-reversed ion ring stability. (iii) Computer simulations of nonlinear electrostatic wave phenomena.
