LargeScale Oscillations in a Tokamak Due to Strong Plasma Temperature Gradient

摘要

It is known that the plasma instabilities are one of the main obstacles on the way to magnetic fusion reac tors. Indispensable condition for such a reactor is sup pression of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) insta bilities. Then a question appears of possible existence of stable branches of the plasma oscillations (modes) which can be excited by the energetic particles. This is a subject of the present paper.
