“…So, the solution (34), (35) in the exponential approximation describes the particle distribution in the entire range of energy values for z > 6:12. It should be noted that the asymptotic expression for the distribution function for z + 00 (43), (45) holds also under the condition inverse to (36), but this asymptote is apparently not described by the simple expansion (17). The solution obtained in this section describes completely the distribution function of fast particles in the presence of an external field E, and anomalous diffusion in a homogeneous magnetic field.…”

An investigation has been made of the behaviour of fast electrons in toroidal discharges. The kinetic equation, describing the evolution of the fast particle distribution has been derived and analysed. A semianalytical solution of the kinetic equation has been obtained in the superthermal energy region. The external electric field, turbulence, the non-uniformity of the mean magnetic field and collisions are shown to be important factors affecting the distribution function. The role of the ambipolar electric field has been established and identified as an essential factor in the process of fast electron diffusion. The strong influence of the density profile on the diffusion of fast particles is clearly demonstrated. A comparison has been made with experimental data obtained on the ZT-4OM device. Agreement with the results of these experiments is observed.
