The trajectories of ions confined in a field-reversed configuration (FRC) equilibrium magnetic geometry and heated with a small-amplitude, odd-parity rotating magnetic field (RMF) have been studied with a Hamiltonian computer code. When the RMF frequency is in the ion-cyclotron range, explosive heating occurs. Higher-energy ions are found to have betatron-type orbits, preferentially localized near the FRC's midplane. These results are relevant to a compact magnetic-fusion-reactor design.
利用哈密顿计算机代码研究了限制在场反向配置(FRC)平衡磁几何结构中并由小振幅奇宇称旋转磁场(RMF)加热的离子轨迹。当RMF频率处于离子回旋频率范围内时,会发生爆炸性加热。发现高能离子具有贝塔粒子型轨道,优先定位在FRC的中平面附近。这些结果与紧凑型磁聚变反应堆设计相关。
