Abstract
We study a finite Larmor radius model used to describe the ions distribution function in the core of a tokamak plasma, that consists in a gyro-kinetic transport equation coupled with an electro-neutrality equation. Since the last equation does not provide enough regularity on the electric potential, we introduce a simple linear collision operator adapted to the finite Larmor radius approximation. We next study the two-dimensional dynamics in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field. Thanks to the smoothing effects of the collision and the gyro-average operators, we prove the global existence of solutions, as well as short time uniqueness and stability.
