چکیده
A relativistic bounce-averaged quasilinear diffusion equation is derived to describe stochastic particle transport associated with low-frequency electromagnetic fluctuations in a nonuniform magnetized plasma. Expressions for the relativistic quasilinear diffusion coefficients are calculated explicitly for magnetically-trapped particle distributions in axisymmetric magnetic geometry in terms of drift-bounce resonant contributions associated with low-frequency fluctuations which conserve the first adiabatic invariant. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1408623#

Relativistic quasilinear diffusion in axisymmetric magnetic geometry for arbitrary-frequency electromagnetic fluctuations
A relativistic bounce-averaged quasilinear diffusion equation is derived to describe stochastic particle transport associated with arbitrary-frequency electromagnetic fluctuations in a nonuniform magnetized plasma. Expressions for the elements of a relativistic quasilinear diffusion tensor are calculated explicitly for magnetically-trapped particle distributions in axisymmetric magnetic geometr...
متن کاملA positive-definite form of bounce-averaged quasilinear velocity diffusion for the parallel inhomogeneity in a tokamak
In this paper, the analytical form of the quasilinear diffusion coefficients is modified from the Kennel-Engelmann diffusion coefficients to guarantee the positive definiteness of its bounce average in a toroidal geometry. By evaluating the parallel inhomogeneity of plasmas and magnetic fields in the trajectory integral, we can ensure the positive definiteness and help illuminate some non-reson...
متن کاملNonlinear theory of cyclotron resonant wave-particle interactions: Analytical results beyond the quasilinear approximation.
Cyclotron resonant wave-particle interactions are studied in the context of Hamiltonian theory with utilization of Lie transform techniques. The canonical perturbation method for single particle motion is used for providing results for the collective particle behavior under interaction with wave fields of either localized or periodic profiles. Analytical expressions for the calculation of phase...

A new original code for solving the 3-D relativistic and bounce-averaged electron drift kinetic equation is presented. It designed for the current drive problem in tokamak with an arbitrary magnetic equilibrium. This tool allows self-consistent calculations of the bootstrap current in presence of other external current sources. RF current drive for arbitrary type of waves may be used. Several m...
متن کاملNonlinear relativistic gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell equations
A set of self-consistent nonlinear gyrokinetic equations is derived for relativistic charged particles in a general nonuniform magnetized plasma. Full electromagnetic-field fluctuations are considered with spatial and temporal scales given by the low-frequency gyrokinetic ordering. Self-consistency is obtained by combining the nonlinear relativistic gyrokinetic Vlasov equation with the low-freq...
