Turbulent heating in a beam plasma system

Creators

Description

A study of turbulent excitation and heating in a moderate energy beam--plasma system has been made. The system behavior in the strong interaction limit has been classified into three regimes. In one, diffusive heating of thermal electrons has been found to be the dominant dissipation mechanism of the beam driven electrostatic turbulence. A model describing the system behavior in this regime has been developed. It consists of a coupled set of three rate equations for the intensity of the unstable field fluctuations, the plasma density and the electron temperature. Diss. Abstr. Int., B
