Abstract
In this paper, an attempt is made to clarify some general aspects of the Al fven current drive problem for magnetic traps. For large aspect ratio tokam aks, with an elongated cross-section, some general formulas concerning the untrapped particles dynamics and their input to the Landau damping of the A lfven waves are presented. They are supposed to be used for the further dev elopment of the Alfven current drive theory for tokamaks.
