An asymptotic solution is given for the ion‐drift‐kinetic equation with a full Fokker–Planck term for the limiter‐scrape‐off layer in a tokamak. In this layer, the plasma is assumed to consist of hot, collisionless ions, and cold, collisional electrons. From the solution of the boundary‐layer problem, ion and electron particle and energy losses to the limiter are calculated. Limiter load profiles due to ions are explicitly given as functions of the poloidal angle.
