This graduate level textbook develops the theory of magnetically
confined plasma, with the aim of bringing the reader to the level
of current research in the field of thermonuclear fusion. It begins
with the basic concepts of magnetic field description, plasma
equilibria and stability, and goes on to derive the equations for
guiding center particle motion in an equilibrium field. Topics
include linear and nonlinear ideal and resistive modes and particle
transport. It is of use to workers in the field of fusion both for
its wide-ranging account of tokamak physics and as a kind of
handbook or formulary. This edition has been extended in a number
of ways. The material on mode-particle interactions has been
reformulated and much new information added, including methodology
for Monte Carlo implementation of mode destabilization. These
results give explicit means of carrying out mode destabilization
analysis, in particular for the dangerous fishbone mode. A new
chapter on cyclotron motion in toroidal geometry has been added,
with comparisons of the analysis of resonances using guiding center
results.A new chapter on the use of lithium lined walls has been
added, a promising means of lowering the complexity and cost of
full scale fusion reactors. A section on nonlocal transport has
been added, including an analysis of Levy flight simulations of ion
transport in the reversed field pinch in Padova, RFX.
