Dispersion relations for field-aligned cyclotron waves in an axisymmetric tokamak plasma with anisotropic temperature

摘要

Dispersion equations are evaluated for field-aligned cyclotron waves in axisymmetric tokamak plasmas with circularudmagnetic surfaces. Bi-Maxwellian distribution function is used to model the energetic particles (ions or electrons) withudanisotropic temperature. The growth/damping rate of cyclotron waves in tokamaks is defined by the contributions of theudresonant trapped and untrapped particles to the imaginary part of the transverse susceptibility elements.
