Book Description
Plasma heating using the fast magnetosonic wave in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies is being studied both experimentally and theoretically in order to evaluate its potential for heating reactor plasmas. RF pulses at power levels up to 800 kW and length>130 ms have been delivered to a set of two parallel 1/2 turn loop antennae with 80% of the power coupled to the plasma. The parallel antennae have been driven both in and out-of-place so that the k/sub phi/ dependence of the antenna coupling and plasma heating can be determined. The heating experiments were conducted in the two-ion hybrid regime where the deuterium plasma contained a small component of a second ion species (hydrogen or 3He). A bulk ion temperature increase of up to 1.2 keV has been achieved at the 620 kW power level with 3He as the minority species and anti n/sub e/ = 2.9 x 1013 cm−3. Energetic minority distributions have been detected consistent with theory.

Plasma Physics for Nuclear Fusion
Author: Kenrō Miyamoto
Publisher: MIT Press (MA)
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 664
Book Description
The original English-language edition of this work appeared in 1979. Since then researchers around the world have made slow but steady progress toward the realization of sustained, controlled nuclear fusion. This new edition has been updated to review the important contributions of the past decade. The final chapter, "Confinement of High-Temperature Plasmas, " has been rewritten entirely to include the recent results of confinement in several types of devices and advances the under standing of wave heating. Miyamoto's approach is unique in encompassing Western, Soviet, and Japanese research in the fusion field. The book's 16 chapters are grouped into four major subject areas. Chapters in the first part develop the fundamentals of plasma physics and present the conditions of nuclear fusion reactions; those in the next two parts provide a magnetohydrodynamic description of plasmas and explain wave phenomena and instabilities by means of a kinetic model. Concluding chapters take up the problems of heating, diagnostics, and confinement. Specific topics include the Lawson condition; Boltzmann and Vlasov equations; plasma equilibrium; magnetohydrodynamic instabilities; waves in cold and hot plasmas; microinstabilities; fast neutral beam injection and wave heating; and diagnostics using microwaves, lasers, and energy analyzers. Plasma confinement in tokamaks and stellarators, multipole fields, mirrors, and cusps, as well as inertial confinement, are reviewed. Kenro Miyamoto, is Professor of Physics at the University of Tokyo.

Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics
Author: Kenro Miyamoto
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781584887096
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Resulting from ongoing, international research into fusion processes, the International Tokamak Experimental Reactor (ITER) is a major step in the quest for a new energy source.The first graduate-level text to cover the details of ITER, Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics introduces various aspects and issues of recent fusion research activities through the shortest access path. The distinguished author breaks down the topic by first dealing with fusion and then concentrating on the more complex subject of plasma physics. The book begins with the basics of controlled fusion research, followed by discussions on tokamaks, reversed field pinch (RFP), stellarators, and mirrors. The text then explores ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities, resistive instabilities, neoclassical tearing mode, resistive wall mode, the Boltzmann equation, the Vlasov equation, and Landau damping. After covering dielectric tensors of cold and hot plasmas, the author discusses the physical mechanisms of wave heating and noninductive current drive. The book concludes with an examination of the challenging issues of plasma transport by turbulence, such as magnetic fluctuation and zonal flow. Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics clearly and thoroughly promotes intuitive understanding of the developments of the principal fusion programs and the relevant fundamental and advanced plasma physics associated with each program.
