Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

In a closed-field-line device such as a bumpy torus, the combined E×B and ∇B drifts lead to charge separation that is balanced by the ion polarization drift. In this work, we determine self-consistent potential and density profiles and the condition for electric island formation.
