Cyclotron absorption of fast magnetosonic wave in stellarator
Abstract
The helical nature of the confining magnetic field of a stellarator is investigated in which the absorption can be significantly greater than in a tokamak with similar present parameters. The possibility of strong absorption of the fast magnetosonic wave in a stellarator plasma is demonstrated theoretically for the case of cyclotron resonance conditions of the primary ions.
