Description

The influence of ionization and charge exchange processes on the dissipative drift wave instability is studied. The solutions of the eigenvalue equation show that the weakly toroidally coupled modes only become unstable through ionization if the neutral density exceeds a critical value. In the case of strong mode coupling, the increment of the drift waves is modified significantly both by ionization and charge exchange processes. (author). 9 refs, 3 figs
