Abstract The asymptotic solution of the Vlasov equation under the drift approximation, for an axially symmetric toroidal plasma configuration with an elliptic cross section of magnetic surfaces, is presented. The analytical expressions for the parallel component of the dielectric permittivity tensor are obtained. These expressions are used for theoretical analyses of the trapped and untrapped electron influence on the collisionless wave dissipation. The evaluated dielectric tensor components can be used for computer calculations of the radio frequency field structure and the collisionless dissipated power related to trapped and untrapped electrons in tokamak plasmas.
