Kappa Distributed Electrons

We consider a low frequency plasma comprising of Kappa distributed electrons and Maxwellian ions embedded in an external magnetic field in toroidal ion-temperature-gradient driven modes. A set of nonlinear equations are derived in the presence of equilibrium density, temperature, and magnetic field gradients. In the nonlinear regime, solutions in the form of tripolar vortices are derived by using Braginskii’s transport equations. It has been observed that the scale lengths over which the nonlinear vortex structures form get modified in the presence of Kappa distributed electrons. In tokamak the present study is applicable where non-Maxwellian population has been observed in electron cyclotron heating experiments and resonant frequency heating.
