Abstract

In a toroidal plasma the distribution function of ions interacting resonantly with waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) can be described with a three-dimensional orbit-averaged Fokker–Planck equation. This equation can be solved with a Monte Carlo method. Explicit expressions for the Monte Carlo operator describing wave–particle interaction, within the framework of quasilinear theory, are given. Furthermore, properties of the operator are discussed.
