Abstract

Non-resonant ponderomotive force theory is applied to fluctuating electromagnetic fields in a plasma. Bootstrap-type relations between the radial transport velocity and the toroidal current driven by fluctuations are also discussed in the case of non-zero ponderomotive forces proportional to d/dr. A special case of fluctuating fields as measured in the SHEILA heliac is discussed.
