Low Frequency Instabilities in Confined Plasmas: Concepts and Theoretical Framework

Most experts consider that anomalous energy and particle transport in fusion devices are due to low frequency waves whose free energy sources are the equilibrium gradients and the associated drifts across the confining magnetic field (drift waves). We consider successively the cases where k
