Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 3536–3539 (1994)Excitation of Large-kθ Ion-Bernstein Waves in TokamaksReceived 7 June 1994; published in the issue dated 26 December 1994 The mode-converted ion-Bernstein wave excited in tokamaks is shown to exhibit certain very interesting behaviors, including the attainment of very small poloidal phase velocities, the reversal of poloidal direction, and up-down asymmetries in propagation and damping. Because of these effects, this wave holds promise for channeling α-particle power to ions, something that would make a tokamak fusion reactor far more attractive than presently envisioned. © 1994 The American Physical Society URL:
