Off-axis Electron Cyclotron Current Drive for Current Profile Control in Tokamaks*
Steady-state operation in a tokamak requires full noninductive support of the plasma current. Known methods of driving noninductive current are too inefficient to support more than a small fraction of the total plasma current. The route to a steady state tokamak lies through the Advanced Tokamak approach, for which improved confinement and stability support the plasma pressure at reduced plasma...
متن کاملTH/P3-1 Off-axis Neutral Beam Current Drive for Advanced Scenario Development in DIII-D
Modification of the two existing DIII-D neutral beam lines is proposed to allow vertical steering to provide off-axis neutral beam current drive (NBCD) as far off-axis as half the plasma radius. New calculations indicate very good current drive with good localization off-axis as long as the toroidal magnetic field, BT, and the plasma current, Ip, are in the same direction (for a beam steered do...
متن کاملPlane-polarized helicon waves
By suitably adding rightand left-hand circularly polarized helicon waves in a cylinder, it is possible, in principle, to form linearly polarized modes, contrary to the notion that whistler waves must be circularly polarized. The plane-polarized component is accompanied by a left-hand circularly polarized component which vanishes on axis but becomes important at large radii. The field lines of t...
متن کاملEfficiency 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 کاملHelicon waves in the magnetotail
[1] The helicon modes are studied in Earth’s magnetotail using the Harris sheet as a model of its equilibrium. The plasma sheet is divided into two regions: In region 1 both the electrons and the ions are treated as magnetized, whereas in region 2 the electrons are treated as magnetized but the ions are unmagnetized. The eigenmode equation for the low-frequency, parallel propagating right-hand ...
