Handling technology of Mega-Watt millimeter-waves for optimized heating of fusion plasmas.

چکیده
Millimeter-wave components were re-examined for high power (Mega-Watt) and steady-state (greater than one hour) operation. Some millimeter-wave components, including waveguide joints, vacuum pumping sections, power monitors, sliding waveguides, and injection windows, have been improved for high power CW (Continuous Waves) transmission. To improve transmission efficiency, information about the wave phase and mode content of high power millimeter-waves propagating in corrugated waveguides, which are difficult to measure directly, were obtained by a newly developed method based on retrieved phase information. To optimize the plasma heating efficiency, a proof-of-principle study of the injection polarization feedback control was performed in the low power test stand.

متن کاملStrong scattering of high power millimeter waves in tokamak plasmas with tearing modes.
In tokamak plasmas with a tearing mode, strong scattering of high power millimeter waves, as used for heating and noninductive current drive, is shown to occur. This new wave scattering phenomenon is shown to be related to the passage of the O point of a magnetic island through the high power heating beam. The density determines the detailed phasing of the scattered radiation relative to the O-...

متن کاملPsfc/ja-00-41 Heating and Current Drive by Electron Bernstein Waves in Nstx and Mast-type Plasmas
The high β operating regime of spherical tokamaks (ST), such as in NSTX and MAST, make them attractive fusion devices. To attain the high β’s, there is a need to heat and to drive currents in ST plasmas. While ST plasmas are overdense to conventional electron cyclotron (EC) waves, electron Bernstein waves (EBW) offer an attractive possibility both for heating and for driving plasma currents. We...

Progress in the performance of tokamak devices has enabled not only the production of significant bursts of fusion energy from deuterium-tritium (D-T) plasmas in the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) and the Joint European Torus (JET) but, more importantly, the initial study of the physics of burning magnetically confined plasmas. TFTR and JET, in conjunction with the worldwide fusion effort, ...
