Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating in a Toroidal Octupole
A 1 MW� 2 msec pulse of rf power at the ion cyclotron frequency (2.6 MHz) has been used to heat the ions from < 1 eV to 350 eV in a toroidal octupole device. The ion temperature is limited by charge exchange loss and agrees quantitatively with theoretical predictions. No parametric decay waves, enhanced diffusion, or other deleterious effects except for a high neutral re flux are observed to a...
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...

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 کاملIntegrated modeling for ion cyclotron resonant heating in toroidal systems
The deployment of high power radio frequency waves in the ion cyclotron range constitutes an important operational facility in many plasma devices, including ITER. Not only for pure heating of the plasma, i.e. Ion Cyclotron Resonant Heating (ICRH), but also for the generation of non-inductive current through Ion Cyclotron Current Drive (ICCD). We concentrate on minority species heating scenario...
متن کاملSelf Consistent Calculations of Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating in Toroidal Plasmas
A method for self consistent calculations of ion cyclotron resonance heating has been developed. The dielectric tensor is calculated from a particle distribution function calculated with the orbit averaged Monte Carlo code fido. The tensor is then fed into the global wave code lion. The calculated wave field and power partitions are fed back into the fido code. By using two existing codes in an...
