Theory of ion dynamics and heating by magnetic pumping in FRC plasma
July 2018 | J. Egedal | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
A new mathematical framework is developed for efficient evaluation of ion heating during magnetic pumping of field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas. The topology of ion trajectories is examined through the use of action variables applied to a typical FRC equilibrium.
