Abstract

The transport equation governing the deposition of energy carried by fast charged particles in a thermonuclear plasma is derived and solved using a new discrete-ordinates method. This method is shown to be superior to a diffusion theory approximation. Excellent agreement with analytic results for a number of representative test problems has been obtained.
