Abstract

Strong plasma rotation is an important feature in many high-performance fusion plasmas, especially in plasmas with internal transport barriers (ITBs). An analysis of the impact of plasma rotation, or more specifically of a radial electric field, on the ripple-induced stochastic diffusion of energetic ions is presented. In particular, the influence of a radial electric field on the threshold for stochastic motion and on the diffusion path in real space is investigated.
