Book excerpt: The 12th Joint Workshop on Electron Cyclotron Emission and Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (EC-12) was held in Aix-en-Provence (France) from May 13 to 16, 2002. This workshop was concerned with the interaction of electromagnetic waves and hot plasmas, a subject of great importance in the framework of research on controlled thermonuclear fusion. Using as a fuel a mixture of deuterium and tritium, which can be extracted from sea water, this is a very promising way to develop an intrinsically safe reactor. The workshop gathered approximately one hundred specialists in the production, use and theory of millimetre waves for heating and diagnostics of fusion plasmas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyclotron Waves in Plasma is a four-chapter text that covers the basic physical concepts of the theory of cyclotron waves and cyclotron instabilities, brought about by the existence of steady or alternating plasma currents flowing perpendicular to the magnetic field. This book considers first a wide range of questions associated with the linear theory of cyclotron oscillations in equilibrium plasmas and in electron plasmas in metals and semiconductors. The next chapter deals with the parametric excitation of electron cyclotron oscillations in plasma in an alternating electric field. A chapter focuses on plasma turbulence, which results from the development of cyclotron instabilities. The last chapter discusses pertinent experimental data concerning cyclotron waves in plasma. The book is intended for specialists in plasma physics and a number of related fields, including the physics of the ionosphere, solar wind and, metals, as well as for students and teachers who are specializing in these subjects.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ion cyclotron resonance frequency heating (ICRH) is one of the most important mechanisms to heat fusion plasma. The magnetic field generated by the magnetic coils forces ions to follow a cyclotron trajectory around the magnetic field lines due to the Lorentz force. Therefore, ions revolve around the magnetic field lines in a determined frequency, the so called ion cyclotron frequency. ICRH is based on launching electromagnetic waves from the low-field side in such a way that their frequency matches the one from ions cyclotron frequency. When both frequencies match, another effect begins to occur, the wave-particle interaction. At this point, ions start damping the wave by absorbing its energy. This effect modifies the distribution function of ions which develops a tail in the high energy region. The fast ions produced by the energy absorption from the electromagnetic waves play an important role in heating the bulk plasma. Therefore, it is crucial to know how the energy of the wave is distributed among ions and electrons, and how the fast ions produced deliver their energy to the other particles, ions and electrons. This Msc thesis is a first computational assessment of bulk plasma heating for DEMO. The DEMOnstration power plant is a proposed nuclear fusion power plant that is expected to be built after the experimental reactor ITER. It will be the first fusion reactor to produce electrical energy. Its parameters and scope are still not fixed yet, a few different yet similar designs exist. However, the physical dimensions and energy output in DEMO are much bigger than that of ITER. In fact, DEMO's 2 to 4 gigawatts of fusion power will be in the scale of the modern electric power plants. In this sense, the analysis here presented, takes into account the evolution of the fast ions and assesses their behavior at DEMO. The ICRH scenarios studied are the second harmonic tritium with and without 3He in D-T plasma as they are regarded as the most promising ICRH scenarios. Plasma parameters, as temperature T and electron density ne, are scanned in order to obtain the behavior of the fast ions. A DEMO design point which has been used to perform deeper analysis for a determined case has been established at T = 30 keV , ne = 1.2 · 1020 m−3. The analysis has been carried out using the PION code. PION has been extensively benchmarked against JET results. It is able to solve the evolution in time of the distribution function and to compute the absorption of the electromagnetic wave. This problem must be solved self-consistently. PION simulations consist in a number of time steps. First of all, for each time step, the power absorbed is calculated. This information is then used for computing the distribution function with a Fokker-Planck model, which will be used to compute the absorption power at the beginning of the next time step. This process is repeated iteratively until convergence is reached. The results obtained in this work are two: i) the bulk ion heating and ii) fast ion parameters. We have noticed that by placing the resonance region slightly closer to the outer side the bulk ion heating is improved in both scenarios by reducing the direct electron damping. The values for bulk ion heating of a 100 MW electromagnetic wave launch are 55.84 MW for a plasma with 3% of 3He and 43.00 MW for a plasma without 3He. The plasma without the 3He dilution shows a higher reaction rate and also its fast ions are considerably more energetic. So, as the minority heating scenario has an enhanced bulk ion heating, the second harmonic tritium scenario presents two advantages, firstly that no 3He is required and secondly that there is no 3He dilution.

This book was released on 2018-07-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observations of ion distributions and plasma waves obtained by the Dynamics Explorer 1 satellite in the high-altitude, nightside auroral zone are used to study ion energization for three ion species. A number of theoretical models have been proposed to account for the transverse heating of these ion populations. One of these, the ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) mechanism, explains ion conic formation through ion cyclotron resonance with broadband electromagnetic wave turbulence in the vicinity of the characteristic ion cyclotron frequency. The cyclotron resonant heating of the ions by low- frequency electromagnetic waves is an important energy source for the transport of ions from the ionosphere to the magnetosphere. In this paper we test the applicability of the ICRH mechanism to three simultaneously heated and accelerated ion species by modelling the ion conic formation in terms of a resonant wave-particle interaction in which the ions extract energy from the portion of the broadband electromagnetic wave spectrum which includes the ion cyclotron frequency. Using a Monte Carlo technique we evaluate the ion heating produced by the electromagnetic turbulence at low frequencies and find that the wave amplitudes near the ion cyclotron frequencies are sufficient to explain the observed ion energies.
