Title 207: Perpendicular resistivity in Ohm's law
Name:Pete Politzer () Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:Heating & Current Drive Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): --
Description:
Experimental Approach/Plan: Using transient perturbations (e.g., a magnetic field ramp or an ECH heating pulse) obtain the perpendicular electric field and current from analysis of the evolving equilibrium.
Background: Although the resistivity perpendicular to field lines is a key transport coefficient for establishment of plasma equilibrium, as well as for stability of electromagnetic modes, it is an unknown quantity. Dedicated time is needed to document the effect of Bt ramps on quiet plasmas.
