Elementary Processes Underlying Alpha Channeling in Tokamaks
Authors: N.J. Fisch
Abstract:
Alpha channeling in tokamaks is speculative, but also extraordinarily attractive. Waves
that can accomplish this effect have been identified. Key aspects of the theory now enjoy experimental
confirmation. This paper will review the elementary processes of wave-particle interactions
in plasma that underlie the alpha channeling effect.
