Abstract

Plateau-type ion diffusion caused by the resonance between the periodic motion of the ions parallel to the magnetic field and the poloidal E×B is calculated in a bumpy torus. It is found that the loss of ion particles through this bounce resonance can be very significant when the resonance condition (Ω≊kvth) is met.
