Continued development of modeling tools and theory for rf heating. Final report

The work performed during the grant has been reported long before this date, specifically in: (1) the grant`s annual performance report for 1991, MRC/WDC-R-277; (2) the published AIP Conference Proceedings {number_sign}244, Radio Frequency Power in Plasmas, Charleston, SC 1991, ``Evaluation of Wave Dispersion, Mode-Conversion, and Damping for ECRH with Exact Relativistic Corrections,`` by D.N. Smithe and P.L. Colestock; and (3) an unpublished paper entitled ``Temperature Anisotropy and Rotation Upgrades to the ICRF Modules in SNAP and TRANSP``, presented at the 1992 ICRF Modeling and Theory Workshop, at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. This final report contains copies of number (1). The specifics of the grant`s final months` activities, which to the authors recollection have never been reported to the DOE, are as follows. The original grant, which was to terminate August 15, 1991, was extended without additional funds to October 31, 1992. The primary reason for the extension was to permit attendance at the 1992 ICRF Modeling and Theory Workshop at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), which was finally held August 17--18, 1992, after having been rescheduled several times during the summer of 1992. The body of this report contains copies of the 1991 annual report, which gives detailed discussion of the work accomplished
