Electron Cyclotron interaction in the early stage of EC-assisted plasma breakdown

Electron Cyclotron (EC) wave interaction with very low temperature electrons in conditions like those occurring for EC-assisted plasma breakdown is investigated via the Hamiltonian adiabatic formalism. Estimates of interest for applications to present tokamak experiments are derived. The analysis al...
