Computer Simulation of RF-Confinement of Plasmas in an Open-Ended Toroidal Quadrupole

抄録

Collisional diffusions of plasmas contained in an open ended toroidal quadrupole magnetic field and an improvement of an energy confinement with the aid of applying RF-electric field is numerically simulated. As a technical method, some modifications to “Collisionless PIC method” are introduced. The plasma decreases at the rate which is inferred from the collisions acting on ions. The improvements of an energy containment by applying RF-electric fields are suggested especially by tracing the motion of some test particles.
