Resulting from ongoing, international research into fusion
processes, the International Tokamak Experimental Reactor (ITER) is
a major step in the quest for a new energy source.The first
graduate-level text to cover the details of ITER, Controlled Fusion
and Plasma Physics introduces various aspects and issues of recent
fusion research activities through the shortest access path. The
distinguished author breaks down the topic by first dealing with
fusion and then concentrating on the more complex subject of plasma
physics. The book begins with the basics of controlled fusion
research, followed by discussions on tokamaks, reversed field pinch
(RFP), stellarators, and mirrors. The text then explores ideal
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities, resistive instabilities,
neoclassical tearing mode, resistive wall mode, the Boltzmann
equation, the Vlasov equation, and Landau damping. After covering
dielectric tensors of cold and hot plasmas, the author discusses
the physical mechanisms of wave heating and noninductive current
drive. The book concludes with an examination of the challenging
issues of plasma transport by turbulence, such as magnetic
fluctuation and zonal flow. Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics
clearly and thoroughly promotes intuitive understanding of the
developments of the principal fusion programs and the relevant
fundamental and advanced plasma physics associated with each
program.
