Kantor}, title = {Tokamak plasma self-organization-synergetics of magnetic trap plasmas}, abstract = {Analysis of a wide range of experimental results in plasma magnetic confinement investigations shows that in most cases, plasmas are self-organized. In the tokamak case, it is realized in the self-consistent pressure profile, which permits the tokamak plasma to be macroscopically MHD stable. Existing experimental data permit suggesting a hypothesis about the mechanism of pressure profile regulation and to give an explanation of such unusual phenomena as a nonlocal character of transport coefficients, enhanced speed of heat/cold pulse propagation and many modes of tokamak operation. }, year = {2011}, journal = {Nuclear Fusion}, volume = {51}, number = {8}, pages = {083024}, month = {Aug}, isbn = {0029-5515}, doi = {10.1088/0029-5515/51/8/083024}, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 818DDTimes Cited: 0Cited Reference Count: 47}, language = {English}, }
