Optimization of Geometry of Heating Neutral Beam Input into the TUMAN-3M Tokamak

摘要

We consider the possibility of attaining a maximum contribution of energy to plasma due to vari- ation in the impact parameter of a beam of high-energy neutral atoms and in the slope angle of the injection line to the equatorial plane at different parameters of the discharge. The influence of energy of particles on their confinement is also considered. It is shown that particles can be both passing and trapped depending on energy, which is connected with nonconservation of the adiabatic invariant W_⊥/B.
