Heating and containment of a plasma in a small Tokamak device
Abstract
A turbulent Tokamak which could heat and contain a plasma with ion temperatures as high as 3 keV is proposed. It could be assembled from a device of the same kind used for confinement and heating studies of 1 keV plasmas, the cost difference deriving mainly from that of a 3 tesla coil set and its power supply. Theoretical justifications and the proposed magnetic field configuration are discussed.
