Abstract
A model for treating ripple induced fast ion losses during ion cyclotron re sonance frequency heating is presented. It is suitable for codes solving an orbit averaged three-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation with a Monte Carlo method, and has been implemented in such a code. The resulting code has be en used for a comparison with experimental data form Tore Supra and for ass essing the ripple induced losses in different ICRF heating scenarios.
