Description

Some elementary processes which can have an influence in the turbulence of tokamak edge plasmas are discussed. The trajectories of charged particles in the pump field are determined. The properties of an equilibrium helically distorted by a pump mode are investigated and the self-consistency of a test mode is analyzed. The role of the density, temperature and radial electric field profiles, concerning the stability of a test mode is explained and compared with experimental data
