Kinetic study of plasma current start-up under EBW power in tokamak plasmas
Erasmus J. du Toit, Martin R. O'Brien, Roddy G. L. Vann
Tokamak plasma current start-up assisted by Electron Bernstein waves (EBW) has been demonstrated successfully in a number of experiments. The dynamic start-up phase involves a chan…

A kinetic study of microwave start-up of tokamak plasmas
Erasmus J. du Toit, Martin R. O'Brien, Roddy G. L. Vann
A kinetic model for studying the time evolution of the distribution function for microwave start-up is presented. The model for the distribution function is two dimensional in mome…
