Plasma Science and Fusion Center - MIT, 2014. — 116 p.The Magnetic Fusion Energy Formulary (the "Formulary" hereafter) is a reference book containing much of the critical mathematics and physics required for students and researchers in the field of magnetic fusion energy. It compiles over 500 equations drawn from the leading scientific literature into a comprehensive and convenient book. Each equation includes a citation that provides the original source and page number to provide further reading, and all equations are comprehensively indexed for easy on-the-fly access.
The formulary consists of three sections. Chapters 1-2 cover the mathematics, fundamental units, and physical constants relevent to magnetic fusion. Chapters 3-9 covers the basic physics of thermonuclear fusion plasmas, beginning with electrodynamics as a foundation and developing single particle physics, plasma parameters, plasma models, plasma transport, plasma waves, and nuclear physics. Finally, Chapters 10-13 covers the physics of toroidally confined core and edge plasmas, as well as the fundamentals of magnetic fusion energy in deuterium-tritium tokamaks. Chapter 13 contains a large table of parameters for major tokamaks of the world.
