Description

As fusion-generated α-particles or RF-heated minority ions in a fusion plasma collide with impurity ions, the latter can be accelerated to energies of several MeV, a fact which may be useful for diagnostic purposes. In this study, the source strength and the distribution function of the hot ion population thus created is calculated. Account is taken to the effects of nuclear elastic scattering and velocity-space anisotropy. In addition, the distribution of near-7-MeV α-particles formed in close collisions between 3.5 MeV α-particles is determined. (au) (20 refs.)
