Alpha-Physics and Measurement Requirements for ITER
Authors: S.J. Zweben, S. Putvinski, M. P. Petrov, G. Sadler, K. Tobita, and K.M. Young
This paper reviews alpha particle physics issues in ITER and their implications for alpha particle measurements. A comparison is made between alpha heating in ITER and NBI and ICRH heating systems in present tokamaks, and alpha particle issues in ITER are discussed in three physics areas: "single particle" alpha effects, "collective" alpha effects, and RF interactions with alpha particles.
