Single particle behavior in plasmas

The paper follows the history of a neutral atom or molecule into a plasma--ionization, dissociation, radiation,--until it becomes a set of charged particles moving in the electromagnetic fields of the plasma system. The various useful forms of the method of averaging are displayed and applied to calculation of constants of motion. The breakdown of these constants is discussed along with some of the implications for fusion systems.

Interaction of the neutral deuterium flux with a field-reversed configuration

Recycling effects arising from the penetration of cold neutrals into a hot plasma has been known to contribute to confinement properties of tokamaks, mirrors, RFPs, and spheromaks. To data, however, ionization and charge exchange processes associated with the possible influx of neutrals have been neglected in FRC transport models, or their effects have been found negligible for experiments with short lifetimes (< 20 ..mu..s). These processes are also neglected when ascertaining the experimental… more
