Abstract

AbstractA nonlinear collision operator is formulated in order to study the effect of collisions among high-energy particles on their confinements in toroidal plasmas. The Monte Carlo collision operator is derived to be easily implemented to the orbit following code. Using this collision operator, the importance of self collisions of high-energy α particles in a reactor and of high-energy particles by plasma heating, e.g. NBI and ICRF heating can be evaluated.Keywords α-particle confinementMonte Carlo methodNonlinear collision operatorNuclear fusionPlasma heating
