Roles of atomic and molecular processes in fusion plasma researches. From the cradle (plasma production) to the grave (after-burning)

摘要

This short lecture given at RIKEN Winter School on Atomic and Molecular Processes in Tsunan, Niigata, has described some crucial roles of atomic and molecular (AM) physics in magnetic fusion plasma research. Particular importance has been stressed of collision processes involving species in the excited states in fusion plasmas, especially in divertor and edge plasmas. (author). (ERA citation 20:031188)
