Heating in Toroidal Plasmas 1978, Volume 1 contains the proceedings of the 2nd Joint Grenoble-Varenna International Symposium held in Grenoble, France, on July 3-7, 1978. The symposium provided a forum for reviewing the status of heating of toroidal plasmas as a means of creating a practically inexhaustible source of energy with maximum safety and economy. Topics covered range from nuclear beam injection to heating at ion cyclotron- and lower frequencies, as well as lower hybrid resonance heating and electron cyclotron heating. Comprised of 52 chapters, this volume first looks at the implications of Theoretical scaling laws, followed by a detailed account on the use of duality and complex vectorial space for the orthonormal decomposition of the electromagnetic field in anisotropic media. The reader is then introduced to the topology of Tokamak orbits; behavior of fast ions in a large Tokamak plasma during nuclear beam injection heating; and heating of a toroidal plasma by skin current. Subsequent chapters focus on parametric instabilities in weakly-inhomogeneous hot plasmas; wave trajectory and electron cyclotron heating in toroidal plasmas; considerations on the design of a 50-GHz gyrotron; and nonlinear dissipation of a finite bandwidth radiation in a plasma near electron cyclotron harmonic resonances. This monograph will be of interest to practitioners and research workers engaged in plasma physics.
