Theory for Longitudinal Ion Cyclotron Resonance Power Absorption: Application to Line Shape for Nonreactive Ion

In Ion-cyclotron Resonance Heating

We determine the conditions under which the damping of the fast Alfven wave, used in the heating of tokamak plasmas, can be described by the geometrical optics approximations. Also, for these conditions, we derive an analytical formula which explicitly determines the amount of energy which is damped onto the plasma particles by the fast wave. The conditions for the validity of the geometrical o...
