Previously obtained data on the Wega tokamak by lower hybrid heating (f = 500 MHz; PHF = 130 kW) are re-visited in the light of recent theories on ion stochastic heating and quasi-linear electron Landau damping. It is possible, with the help of these theories, to correctly estimate the fast-ion mean energy, the HF power density coupled to the ions and that coupled to the electrons. The values of the parallel index of refraction, N‖, which are necessary to obtain a good quantitative agreement between experiment and theoretical estimates, are the same for ions and electrons, although higher than expected.
Absolute cross sections for electron capture into the n =3, 4 states of H have been measured for 0.3-3.0-keV O', H2' ixnpact on H2, N2, Ar, CO2. This cross section decreases ettponentiaily with decreasing impact velocity according to an a =A exp(-8~d.E~/v} relationship, where I AE I is the internal energy of the reaction, v is the ion velocity, and A and B are constant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
