Description
Physics of Plasmas Close to Thermonuclear Conditions, Volume 1 contains the proceedings of the Course and Workshop on "Physics of Plasmas Close to Thermonuclear Conditions" held in Varenna, Italy, from August 27 to September 8, 1979. The papers explore the physics of plasmas close to thermonuclear conditions and cover topics ranging from transport phenomena to equilibria and stability, alpha-particles, and heating. Codes and radiation are also discussed, along with impurity problems and refueling. Comprised of 27 chapters, this volume first outlines the neo-classical theory for impurity transport in a toroidal plasma before describing an empirical approach to particle and energy transport in a Tokamak. The reader is then introduced to tearing modes in Tokamaks; magnetohydrodynamic equilibria; and very-low-frequency heating. Subsequent chapters focus on electron cyclotron resonance heating of high-temperature plasmas; radiation in thermonuclear regime; computer models for fusion plasmas; and mathematical and technical problems involved in codes for plasmas in toroidal devices. This book will be of interest to practitioners and research workers engaged in plasma physics.
