Hot solar-wind helium: direct evidence for local heating by Alfvén-cyclotron dissipation.
A study of solar-wind hydrogen and helium temperature observations collected by the Wind spacecraft offers compelling evidence of heating by an Alfvén-cyclotron dissipation mechanism. Observations are sorted by the rate of Coulomb interactions, or collisional age, in the plasma and the differential flow between the two species. We show that helium is preferentially heated perpendicular to the m...
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 کامل2D electron cyclotron emission imaging at ASDEX Upgrade (invited).
The newly installed electron cyclotron emission imaging diagnostic on ASDEX Upgrade provides measurements of the 2D electron temperature dynamics with high spatial and temporal resolution. An overview of the technical and experimental properties of the system is presented. These properties are illustrated by the measurements of the edge localized mode and the reversed shear Alfvén eigenmode, sh...
متن کاملAlfvénic Instabilities and Fast Ion Transport in the DIII-D Tokamak
Neutral beam injection into reversed magnetic shear DIII-D plasmas produces a variety of Alfvénic activity including Toroidicity and Ellipticity induced Alfvén Eigenmodes (TAE/EAE, respectively) and Reversed Shear Alfvén Eigenmodes (RSAE) as well as their spatial coupling. These modes are typically studied during the discharge current ramp phase when incomplete current penetration results in a ...
