摘要
Collisionless time evolutions of geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) in tokamaks are investigated by the gyrokinetic theory and simulation. It is shown that the collisionless damping of the GAM oscillations is enhanced when the ratio of the typical drift orbit width of passing ions to the radial wavelength of the zonal flow increases.
