Description

Global eigenmodes of low frequency waves in field reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas have been obtained using the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model and one-dimensional equilibrium model. Dispersion relation and radial structure of the global wave fields are shown for the azimuthal mode number m=0. The results are compared with the results of a low frequency wave heating experiment. Possibilities of ion heating by the ion cyclotron damping, the transit-time magnetic damping, and Landau damping are discussed
