A generalized kinetic energy principle

A generalized kinetic energy principle

Using three single‐particle adiabatic invariants, we derive an energy principle which generalizes that for the usual guiding center plasma in order to describe the low‐frequency stability of a plasma containing an energetic nonhydromagnetic component (such as the annular electrons in an Elmo Bumpy T...

Zusammenfassung:Using three single‐particle adiabatic invariants, we derive an energy principle which generalizes that for the usual guiding center plasma in order to describe the low‐frequency stability of a plasma containing an energetic nonhydromagnetic component (such as the annular electrons in an Elmo Bumpy Torus device).
