Appearance of neoclassical effects in plasma behavior in torsatron Uragan-3М

At present paper the existence of longitudinal current in plasma and time dependence of plasma density in experiments on torsatron U-3M are explained from the point of neoclassical theory. The time evolution of longitudinal current in plasma is explained by excitation of bootstrap current within int...

Description
Summary:At present paper the existence of longitudinal current in plasma and time dependence of plasma density in experiments on torsatron U-3M are explained from the point of neoclassical theory. The time evolution of longitudinal current in plasma is explained by excitation of bootstrap current within internal areas of the plasma column and by appearance of reverse-current in the external areas of plasma. The observed rise of plasma density after RF-power cut-off is explained by influence of anomalous pinch-effect. This effect is caused by the electric field, appearing due to decrease of longitudinal current in plasma after the RF-power cut-off.
