2. Ion cyclotron resonance heating and current drive in tokamaks
Abstract : In this thesis numerical studies, performed with theMonte-Carlo code FIDO of the evolution of the resonant-iondistribution function in the presence of ion cyclotronresonance heating (ICRH) in toroidal geometry are presented. Inparticular it is pointed out how the absorption of toroidalmomentum from a wave field with finite parallel wave numberscauses spatial drift and diffusion, which together with thefinite orbit widths of the tail ions is shown to have a largeeffect on the temperature profile of the resonant ion speciesand also to cause losses of high-energy ions to the wall.

3. Dynamics of Fast Ions in Tokamaks
Abstract : Fast ions play a prominent role in the heating of tokamak plasmas by, e.g., neutral- beam injection, ion-cyclotron-resonance heating, and alpha-particle heating. In this thesis, a number of physical and mathematical problems concerning the dynamics of fast ions in tokamaks are addressed. READ MORE

4. Thermonuclear Instabilities and Plasma Edge Transport in Tokamaks
Abstract : High-energy ions generated by fusion reactions in a burning fusion plasma may give rise to different types of wave instabilities. The present thesis investigates two types of such instabilities which recently have been observed in fusion experiments: the Toroidal Alfvén Eigenmode (TAE) instability and the magnetoacoustic cyclotron instability (MCI) which is predicted to give rise to ion cyclotron emission (ICE).
