摘要
The dispersion relation of geodesic acoustic mode is investigated in a multi-ion toroidal plasma on the basis of linear gyrokinetic equations where ions are assumed to take a nonextensive distribution. It is found that the frequency of GAM becomes larger with the decrease of q. Consequently, GAM will damp more rapidly. The effective charge corresponding to the maximum damping rate is found to move towards unity as q decreases. As indicates that in a plasma with superthermal bulk ions, the influence of the impurity ion on the damping rate is weakened. (C) 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
