Ov. Batischev et al., INFLUENCE OF KINETIC EFFECTS ON PARTICLE AND ENERGY FLOWS IN THE ITERDIVERTOR, Contributions to Plasma Physics, 34(2-3), 1994, pp. 436-441
A kinetic modelling of 1d collisional and 2d Vlasov magnetic SOL's usi
ng the W1 and W2 particle codes is presented. Deviation of the distrib
ution function from the equilibrium one is shown, as well as the possi
bility of kinetic instability in diverted plasmas.
