Modelling of electron cyclotron energy gain in the tokamak pre-ionization phase

This work presents a model for predicting electron energy gain from electron cyclotron (EC) wave–particle interactions during the breakdown phase of tokamak pre-ionization. Investigation of this phase to infer the EC requirements inevitably demands high-fidelity simulation study covering gas breakdo...
