BOUNCE RESONANCE HEATING AND TRANSPORT IN A MAGNETIC-MIRROR

Bounce resonance heating and associated radial transport in a magnetic mirror are studied. A general expression for the absorbed power and r adial particle flux due to bounce resonance is obtained by use of a gy rokinetic equation with the eikonal representation for waves. It is sh own that the power absorption yields the outward (inward) particle flu x with positive (negative) azimuthal mode number of RF wave fields, an d that the power emission, i.e., instabilities, yields the reverse par ticle flux with the same mode number for the ion. The particle flux fo r the electron is opposite that for the ion.
