Energetic particles in spherical tokamak plasmas
Spherical tokamaks (STs) typically have lower magnetic fields than conventional tokamaks, but similar mass densities. Suprathermal ions with relatively modest energies, in particular beaminjected ions, consequently have speeds close to or exceeding the Alfvén velocity, and can therefore excite a range of Alfvénic instabilities which could be driven by (and affect the behaviour of) fusion α-part...
متن کاملElectrostatic and magnetic transport of energetic ions in turbulent plasmas.
Analytical and numerical work is used in tandem to address the problem of turbulent transport of energetic ions in magnetized plasmas. It is shown that orbit averaging is not valid under rather generic conditions, and that perpendicular decorrelation effects lead to a slow 1/E decay of the electrostatic particle diffusivity of beam ions, while the respective magnetic quantity is even independen...
متن کاملEnergetic particles and magnetohydrodynamic activity in the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment
Results from the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment ~SSX! @M. R. Brown, Phys. Plasmas 6, 1717 ~1999!# indicate that formation and partial merging of two spheromak plasmas can be described well by a magnetohydrodynamic ~MHD! picture in which there is substantial evolution towards force free states within each vessel, while reconnection activity, also described reasonably well by MHD, occurs in the ...
متن کاملAcceleration of energetic particles by large-scale compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Fast particles diffusing along magnetic field lines in a turbulent plasma can diffuse through and then return to the same eddy many times before the eddy is randomized in the turbulent flow. This leads to an enhancement of particle acceleration by largescale compressible turbulence relative to previous estimates in which isotropic particle diffusion is assumed.
متن کاملNonlinear Field Line Random Walk and Generalized Compound Diffusion of Charged Particles in Turbulent Magnetized Plasmas
We present an improved nonlinear theory for the perpendicular transport of charged particles. This approach is based on an improved nonlinear treatment of field-line random walk in combination with a generalized compound diffusion model. The generalized compound diffusion model employed is more systematic and reliable, in comparison with previous theories. Furthermore, the theory shows remarkab...
