Title:

The Role of Electric Field in Confinement

Date of publication:

July 1995

Key words:

Electric field. Particle orbit, Loss cone. Neoclassical transport, Turbulence, Anomalous transport, Structural formation, Improved Confinement

Abstract:

A review on the theories of the electric field effect on toroidal plasma confinement is presented. This review puts an emphasis on the recent progress in the area of the anomalous transport, structural formation and bifurcation, the research for which has been motivated by the finding of the improved confinement. Topics include the single particle physics, such as the particle orbit or the collisional transport, the turbulent transport, the transport matrix, the structural formation and dynamics, the bifurcation, and the improved confinement.
