Resumen
Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) We have investigated, via a 1-22 dimensional computer simulation, the possibility of forcing an initially isotropic, magnetized plasma into an anisotropic state by means of an external pump. Strong heating of the perpendicular ion temperature was observed together with a strong cooling of the longitudinal temperature. This mechanism could enhance particle trapping in tokamaks and increase confinement time in mirror machines. We use basic physical arguments to predict the maximum temperature ratio that can be obtained. © 1976 The American Physical Society. 36 1 28 31 FAPESP; São Paulo Research Foundation Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)
