Abstract Text:
Endogenous modes associated with a finite electron temperature gradient can be sustained by the electron temperature heating rate due to the charged reaction products in a fusion burning plasma [1]. In this case, the longitudinal thermal conductivity on selected rational magnetic surfaces [1] is decreased, relative to its collisional value, by the effects of reconnection. If the relevant decrease is significant rational magnetic surfaces can acquire a favorite role in the process of plasma heating by fusion reaction products.
