Nonlinear helical perturbations of a tokamak
An analytic study of small amplitude perturbations of a cyclindrical tokamak, using the nonlinear, helically symmetric, reduced magnetohydrodynamic equations of Kadomtsev and Rosenbluth is presented. ...

Two-dimensional spatial structure of the dissipative trapped-electron mode
The complete two-dimensional structure of the dissipative trapped-electron mode over its full width, which may extend over several mode-rational surfaces, is discussed. The complete integrodifferentia...

A like particle collision operator is derived for arbitrary values of the product of poloidal wavenumber times gyroradius by employing an ordering in which gyroradius corrections are retained in lowest order and the radial dependence appropriate for sheared magnetic fields is included. In addition, neoclassical, drift, finite beta (plasma pressure/magnetic pressure), and unperturbed toroidal electric field modifications are considered.
