QUASILINEAR KINETIC MODELLING OF RMP PENETRATION INTO A TOKAMAK PLASMA

The linear as well as the quasilinear problem of RMP penetration in tokamaks is solved consistently with a particle and energy conserving collision operator. The new collision operator ensures the Onsager symmetry of the quasilinear transport coefficient matrix and avoids artifacts such as fake heat convection connected with simplified collision models.
