Popis: Presently thermonuclear fusion research is faced with a number of atomic and molecular physics problems depending on the type of high-temperature plasma investigated. The present article discusses some particular atomic physics aspects in connection with magnetically confined plasmas (Tokamaks, Stellarators):(1) rate equations for density, momentum and energy with application to plasmas;(2) initial phase of Tokamak plasmas;(3) influence of impurity radiation on operating conditions of fusion plasmas in general and on Tokamak plasmas in particular;(4) influence of atomic elementary reactions on thermodynamic plasma properties;(5) level structures of highly ionized atoms;(6) spectroscopic diagnostic problems.
