Study of Plasma Start-up Initiated by Second Harmonic Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating on WEGA Experiment
Although both 1 harmonic ordinary mode (O1) and 2 harmonic extra-ordinary mode (X2) have been successfully used to initiate pre-ionization and breakdown in many devices, a complete theoretical model is still missing to explain the success of this method. Moreover, some experimental observations are not completely understood, such as what occurs during the delay time between the turn-on of ECRH ...
متن کاملIn Ion-cyclotron Resonance Heating
We determine the conditions under which the damping of the fast Alfven wave, used in the heating of tokamak plasmas, can be described by the geometrical optics approximations. Also, for these conditions, we derive an analytical formula which explicitly determines the amount of energy which is damped onto the plasma particles by the fast wave. The conditions for the validity of the geometrical o...
متن کاملTokamak start-up with electron-cyclotron heating
Experiments are described in which the start-up voltage in a tokamak is reduced by about a factor of two by the use of a modest amount of electron cyclotron resonance heating power for pre-ionization. The solution of the zero-dimensional start-up equations indicates that the effect is due to the high initial density which increases the rate at which the conductivity increases in the neutral-dom...
متن کاملIon Cyclotron Resonance Heating in The
Ion heating at the fundamental of the cyclotron resonance (1 M H z s 3 MHz) in a toroidal octupole magnetic field is found to be in good agreement with single particle, cold plasma theory at power levels PabrS 100 kW (E 5 100 Vlm) and ion temperatures kT, S 600 eV. Good penetration of the electric field is observed in the densest available plasmas (n7 x lo'* cmA3) with no evidence of parametric...
متن کاملBernstein rays in a Tokamak plasma in the electron - cyclotron heating conditions
TECHNOLOGICAL advances in the construction of high-frequency tubes (gyrotrons) (ALIKAEV et al., 1978; .TORY, 1978) have produced a sustained interest in the possibility of using microwave energy in the electron-cyciotron frequency range (ECF) o = ace, as a promising additional heating scheme for Tokamak plasmas. Nearly all proposed experiments, which will become operative in the next two years ...
