Abstract :
Summary form only given. We present a theoretical study of the isotope separation by means of isotopically selective ion cyclotron resonance plasma heating (ICRH). The special attention is devoted to the separation of gadolinium isotopes. The ions are supposed to pass through a device where they are heated by a full-turn-loop antenna that excites RF field with azimuthal number m=0. We calculate the distribution function of ions in a plasma stream at the orifice of the device.
