Tokamak plasma heating and current maintenance with intense pulsed ion beams

  • 1. Naval Research Lab., Washington, DC (USA)

Description

A tokamak plasma can be heated by an intense pulsed ion beam. Depending on the injection scheme, the current can either be maintained or even generated by this beam. In both cases the beam is injected nearly parallel to the field at the start of the discharge. (author)
