Abstract

The quasi-linear diffusion coefficients for the inherently space-dependent wave amplitudes in lower-hybrid heating and current-drive experiments are derived and compared with the usual space-independent approximation. The distribution function is derived and the dependence on the radio-frequency field amplitude gradient of the ‘plateau’, which is an essential quantity in thetheoretical description of LH experiments, is stressed.
