Neoclassical transport of toroidal angular momentum caused by alpha-particles in axisymmetric tokamak
Description
The toroidal angular momentum flux associated with fast alpha-particles (for which the slowing-down rate is much greater than the pitch angle scattering rate) is studied in the case of axisymmetric tokamak-reactor. It is shown that the viscosity coefficient of such particles is determined by particle slowing down, caused by collisions with electrons. Thus, α-particle angular momentum transport differs from that in Maxwellian plasma, where it is cased by ion-ion collisions. The effect of fast α-particles on plasma rotation in ITER is considered
