Compact formulas for guiding-center orbits in axisymmetric tokamak geometry

Plasma Physics 2015-05-20 v2

Abstract

Compact formulas for trapped-particle and passing-particle guiding-center orbits in axisymmetric tokamak geometry are given in terms of the Jacobi elliptic functions and complete elliptic integrals. These formulas can find applications in bounce-center kinetic theory as well as neoclassical transport theory.
