    Heating in Toroidal Plasmas II, Volume 1 contains the proceedings of the 2nd Joint Grenoble-Varenna International Symposium held in Como, Italy, on September 3-12, 1980. 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 plasma heating activities in countries such as Japan and the United States to electron cyclotron heating, lower hybrid resonance, and ion cyclotron heating. Comprised of 62 chapters, this volume first looks at radio-frequency heating efforts in the European Community as well as heating of toroidal plasmas in the United States and Japan, along with fusion research in China. The next section is devoted to electron cyclotron heating, paying particular attention to its theoretical aspects and presenting the results of experiments using the Tokamak and the CLEO stellarator. Subsequent chapters deal with the feasibility of igniting a thermonuclear plasma with lower hybrid heating; theory of lower hybrid heating in Tokamaks; plasma heating experiments in lower hybrid frequency range; and mode conversion and wave damping in the low frequency range. The excitation and propagation of the fast wave in a two-component non-uniform plasma are also explored. This monograph will be of interest to practitioners and research workers engaged in plasma physics.
