摘要：

The effect of collisions on the polarization current caused by a rotating island in a Tokamak plasma is studied with guiding center particle simulations. The simulations are performed with a delta f code which includes a Monte Carlo model for Coulomb collisions. The transition between the two limiting cases of low and high collision frequency nu (compared to the island rotation frequency omega) is found to occur at nu approximate to omega in agreement with a recent analytic theory.
