Abstract

In order to assess the possible benefit of applying low levels of electron-cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) in the thermal barrier region of a tandem mirror a simple thermal barrier model is considered. The collisional fluxes of the hot, barrier electrons diffusing into the central cell and plug, the warm electrons escaping from the plug, and the cooler, central-cell electrons passing over the thermal barrier and becoming trapped, are evaluated.
