Alpha Particle Induced Magnetoacoustic Instability in a Thermonuclear Plasma
We show that in a thermonuclear plasma the magnetosonic wave propagating normal to the magnetic field can be unstable. The growth rate is small, however, and the wave is easily stabilized by perpendicular thermal conduction. IN A FULLY IGNITED thermonuclear plasma the fusion energy production balances the various energy losses and the fusion reaction is self-sustaining. The product ions (alpha ...

متن کاملTransport bifurcation in a rotating tokamak plasma.
The effect of flow shear on turbulent transport in tokamaks is studied numerically in the experimentally relevant limit of zero magnetic shear. It is found that the plasma is linearly stable for all nonzero flow shear values, but that subcritical turbulence can be sustained nonlinearly at a wide range of temperature gradients. Flow shear increases the nonlinear temperature gradient threshold fo...
متن کاملCross-field Particle Transport in the Edge Plasma of Tokamak Experiments and Implications for ITER Operation
Particle transport in the edge plasma and scrape-off layer will play a key role in the performance and operation of a tokamak fusion reactor: setting the width of the scrape-off layer density profile and its impurity screening characteristics, regulating the energetic particle fluxes onto first-wall components and associated impurity generation rates, and determining the effectiveness of the di...
متن کاملAnomalous transport of particles in plasma physics
We investigate the long time/small mean-free-path asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a Vlasov-Lévy-Fokker-Planck equation and show that the asymptotic dynamics for the VLFP are described by an anomalous diffusion equation.
