Abstract
A method for calculating the ion thermal conductivity and the ion distribution function in the banana regime is formulated for an axisymmetric toroidal plasma of arbitrary aspect ratio. In the limits of large and small aspect ratios, the computed thermal conductivity agrees with the results of Rosenbluth et al. (1972), and Hazeltine et al. (1973). A simple expression for this conductivity is also derived.Keywords
