Differential Form of the Collision Integral for a Relativistic Plasma
Bastiaan J. Braams, Charles F. F. Karney
The differential formulation of the Landau-Fokker-Planck collision integral is developed for the case of relativistic electromagnetic interactions.
Fokker-Planck and Quasilinear Codes
Charles F. F. Karney
The interaction of radio-frequency waves with a plasma is described by a Fokker-Planck equation with an added quasilinear term. Methods for solving this equation on a computer are…
Current in Wave Driven Plasmas
Charles F. F. Karney, Nathaniel J. Fisch
A theory for the generation of current in a toroidal plasma by radio-frequency waves is presented. The effect of an opposing electric field is included, allowing the case of time v…
Efficiency of Current Drive by Fast Waves
Charles F. F. Karney, Nathaniel J. Fisch
The Rosenbluth form for the collision operator for a weakly relativistic plasma is derived. The formalism adopted by Antonsen and Chu can then be used to calculate the efficiency o…
Temporal Evolution of Lower Hybrid Waves in the Presence of Ponderomotive Density Fluctuations
Charles F. F. Karney
The propagation of lower hybrid waves in the presence of ponderomotive density fluctuations is considered. The problem is treated in two dimensions and, in order to be able to corr…
Velocity-Space Diffusion in a Perpendicularly Propagating Electrostatic Wave
Charles F. F. Karney
The motion of ions in the fields B = B_0 zhat and E = E_0 yhat cos(k_perp y - omega t) is considered. When omega >> Omega_i and v_perp > omega/k_perp, the equations of motion may b…
