The plasma observed in modern fusion devices is very often characterized by strongly non Maxwellian distribution function. That is the direct result of inevitable application of plasma heating techniques, such as neutral beam injection (NBI) and ion/electron cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF/ECRF)...
