Energy loss of thermonuclear charged particles in magnetized plasmas
Description
From the Fokker-Planck equation, the distribution function of charged thermonuclear particles has been calculated analytically, with particles sources and losses described by any functions. Numerical calculations of the distribution function time dependent evolution are presented. This equilibrium distribution function correctly describes the thermonuclear particles in a magnetic confinement and in fusion devices by magnetized targets. The correction of the magnetic field from the the particles distribution in the plasma and the charged thermonuclear particles, has been calculated. Concerning magnetized plasma, where the Larmor ray is far longer than the Debye length, the collision effect for the distribution functions is computed in general. The study showed that the diffusion and thermal conductivity coefficients vary inversely as the the field in the first order calculus and inversely as the magnetic field square in the second order calculus. This agrees the already published results. (A.L.B.)
