Electron Cyclotron Current Drive in Spherical Tokamaks with Application to ITER
The high-β spherical tokamaks (ST), such as NSTX and MAST, are attractive fusion devices for studying the physics of current drive by electron cyclotron (EC) waves. While ST plasmas are overdense to conventional EC waves, electron Bernstein waves (EBW) can be used to generate plasma currents. Besides providing better confinement, EBW driven current can also help suppress neoclassical tearing mo...
متن کاملElectron cyclotron current drive calculated for ITER conditions using different models
The current drive efficiency for the ITER reference Scenario-2 has been calculated by the newly developed ray-tracing code TRAVIS for both the upper and equatorial launcher. For comparison, two adjoint approach models are applied, the high-speed-limit model and a model with the parallel momentum conservation taken into account. It is shown, that in the angle range expected as optimal launch ang...
متن کاملElectron cyclotron current drive efficiency in an axisymmetric tokamak
The neoclassical transport theory is applied to calculate electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) efficiency in an axisymmetric tokamak in the low-collisionality regime. The tokamak ordering is used to obtain a system of equations that describe the dynamics of the plasma where the nonlinear ponderomotive (PM) force due to high-power RF waves is included. The PM force is produced around an elect...
متن کاملIT/P6-9 Prospects for Stabilization of Neoclassical Tearing Modes by Electron Cyclotron Current Drive in ITER
The system planned for electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) in ITER can mitigate the deleterious effects of neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) provided that adequate alignment of the ECCD to the rational surface is maintained or too large a misalignment is corrected on a time scale shorter than the plasma response to “large” islands. Resistive neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) will be the pri...
