Abstract

Language:

This report investigates the potential implementation of alpha-channeling in mirror machines by exciting weakly-damped modes within the ion cyclotron frequency range, targeting perpendicular wavelengths smaller than the alpha particle gyroradius. The objective is to systematically identify suitable modes in mirror plasmas assuming both quasi-longitudinal and quasi-transverse wave propagation. Utilizing two device designs, including a proof-of-principle facility, this study explores the viability and effectiveness of these modes in enhancing performance. The research outcomes indicate that the identified modes could lead to significant advancements in plasma confinement and stability in mirror machines, paving the way for more efficient fusion reactions. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of wave-plasma interactions and their practical applications in fusion energy development.
