Theoretical Studies on the TORMAC Geometry, Hydrogen Plasma Spectroscopy and Electron-Molecular Hydrogen Collisional Cross Sections.
Abstract
Research results are summarized for work on (i) plasma theoretical problems related to the TORMAC geometry; (ii) hydrogen plasma spectroscopy; (iii) an electron collisional cross-section computer code and calculations. In Section (i) the following problems are discussed: (1) MHD equilibrium and stability; (2) sheath structure; (3) particle motion in the sheath and particle escape; (4) microinstabilities in the sheath; (5) general principles and scaling. Section (ii) deals with the interpretation of experimental results on polarization and spectra of hydrogenic lines from the TORMAC experiment and presents a new and complete theory for the emission of hydrogenic spectra from turbulent plasmas. Section (iii) presents results for inelastic scattering of electrons on molecular Hydrogen.
