Fast 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-wave current drive in a toroidal plasma.
Fast-wave current drive is demonstrated in Hw Princeton ACT -I toroidal device. The fast Alfven wave, in the range of high ion-cyclotron harmonics, produced 40 A of current from 1 kW of rf power coupled into a plasma hy a fast-wave locp antenna. This wave excites a steady current by damping on the energetic tail of the electron distribution function in the same way as lower-hybrid current drive...
متن کاملSpectral Effects on Fast Wave Core Heating and Current Drive
RF heating and current drive is an essential component in most magnetic fusion devices, including ITER. Recent results obtained with high harmonic fast wave (HHFW) heating and current drive (CD) on NSTX strongly support the hypothesis that the onset of perpendicular fast wave propagation right at or very near the launcher is a primary cause for reduced core heating efficiency at long wavelength...
متن کاملLetters Lower Hybrid Wave Excitation by a Fast Wave Current Drive Antenna
Excitation of the lower hybrid wave (slow wave) using a launcher designed for fast wave excitation has been observed under conditions where neither direct excitation nor mode conversion is expected to take place. The slow wave was revealed through the presence of its resonance cone. The experiment was performed with £2j < to <€ J2e. The coupling of the fast wave into the slow wave is attributed...
