Abstract

This contribution builds upon our previous works, where we have put forward a general phase space transport theory in axisymmetric tokamak plasmas [1-4] based upon the concept of zonal state (ZS) that corresponds to a renormalized plasma nonlinear equilibrium consisting of phase space zonal structures (PSZS) and zonal electromagnetic fields (ZFs) which evolve self-consistently with symmetry breaking fluctuations and sources/collisions. This study focuses on analytical calculation of the nonlinear generation of ZFs by ion temperature gradient driven fluctuations (ITG) in tokamak plasmas.
