Description

Thermonuclear fusion research using a tokamak, a torus-shaped device in which plasma is confined by means of strong magnetic fields, represents one of the most prominent big science projects in the second half of the twentieth century. The international tokamak community is now in a phase of major commitments of effort end funds to experiments with burning plasma that is hot end dense enough to produce significant nuclear fusion reactions. The methods to enhance tokamak performance have had a profound and immediate effect on machine design. This book documents the present status of the field and puts forward innovative ideas of tokamak confinement. It can be used by graduate students, researchers, and staffs of science-supporting agencies as an advanced material.
