Efficiency of Current Drive by Fast Waves
The Rosenbluth form for the collision operator for a weakly relativistic plasma is derived. The formalism adopted by Antonsen and Chu can then be used to calculate the efficiency of current drive by fast waves in a relativistic plasma. Accurate numerical results and analytic asymptotic limits for the efficiencies are given.

متن کاملFast wave current drive in DEMO
The ability to non-inductively drive a large fraction of the toroidal plasma current in magnetically confined plasmas is an essential requirement for steady state fusion reactors such as DEMO. Besides neutral beam injection (NBI), electron-cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and lower hybrid wave heating (LH), ion-cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) is a promising candidate to drive current, in p...
متن کاملFast Wave Current Drive on Diii - D
The physics of electron heating and current drive with the fast magnetosonic wave has been demonstrated on DIU-D , in reasonable agreement with theoretical modeling. A recently completed upgrade to the fast wave capability should allow f id noninductive current drive in steady state advanced confinement discharges and provide some current density profile control for the Advanced Tokamak Program...
متن کاملFast magnetosonic waves launched by transient, current sheet reconnection
A model is investigated describing the resistive dissipation of a finite, two-dimensional current sheet subject to suddenly enhanced resistivity. The resistivity rapidly diffuses the current to a distance where it couples to fast magnetosonic modes. The current then propagates away as a sheath moving at the local Alfvén speed. A current density peak remains at the X-point producing a steady ele...
