The effect of X-points on alpha particle orbits in tokamak configurations
Creators
Description
The effect of the presence of X-points on drift orbits of energetic ions is investigated in toroidal axisymmetric configurations. It is found that the presence of a null of the poloidal magnetic field can distort the orbits of ions close to the X-point. The consequence of this effect on the loss distribution of alpha particles is discussed. Figs
