Toroidal Equilibrium of Plasma with Concentrated Relativistic Electron Beam

Zensho Yoshida, Takaaki Fujita and Yasutaka Fuke

(Received November 10, 1988)

A simplified model has been given for toroidal equilibrium of a tokamak-type plasma with high-current concentrated electron beam. The plasma has a thermal pressure, and the electron beam has effective inertial pressure. Strong deformations of tokamak equilibria have been simulated by numerical calculations. Toroidal equilibria with relatively large vertical field are obtained when we consider high-energy intense electron beam. The beam orbit, which is shifted outward from the magnetic axis of the plasma, is closed by the sum of the externally applied relatively large vertical field and the poloidal magnetic field of the plasma. ©1989 The Physical Society of Japan
