Book Description
Sawtooth oscillations (STO) in the ohmically heated WT-3 tokamak are strongly modified or suppressed by localized electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECH) near the q = 1 surface, where q refers to the safety factor. The effect of ECH is much stronger when it is applied on the high field side (the inner side of the tokamak) as compared to the low field side (outer side). Complete suppression of the STO is achieved for the duration of the ECH when it is applied on the high field side, in a low density plasma, provided the ECH power exceeds a thresholds value. The STO stabilization is attributed to a modification of the current density profile by hot electrons generated by ECH, which reduces the shear in the q = region. 14 refs., 5 figs.

Book Description
Beginning at an introductory level, this text presents a thorough treatment of plasma physics, including an extensive discussion of its applications in thermonuclear fusion research. A novel feature of this book is its comprehensive description of the various concepts and formulas widely used in fusion theory based on the fundamental equations of the plasma fluid. The physics of fusion plasmas is explained mainly in relation to recent progress in tokamak research, but other plasma confinement schemes, such as stellarators and inertial confinement, are also described. The unique and systematic presentation will help readers to understand the overall structure of plasma theory and will facilitate access to more advanced literature on special topics.
