Plasma transport caused by ion/neutral atom collisions. I. Slab model
- 1. California Univ., Livermore (USA). Lawrence Livermore National Lab.
Description
The transport of plasma across a magnetic field, induced by ion/neutral atom collisions, is studied. Both charge exchange and electron-impact ionization are shown to cause such transport. A kinetic theory calculation of cross-field particle and energy fluxes is given, for slab geometry. A self-consistent numerical simulation of the effect of these fluxes in the TMX experiment is presented. Good agreement with experiment is found. (author)
