Pfc / Ja - 85 - 28 Analytical Model for the Perpendicular Temperature Enhancement in Lower - Hybrid Current Drive
نویسنده
چکیده
The enhancement of the perpendicular temperature inside the resonant region, observed in numerical studies of the two-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation, combined with unidirectional RF quasilinear diffusion, is modeled on the basis of the collisional relaxation equations. Strong RF diffusion is assumed and relativistic effects are taken into account. The resulting enhanced perpendicular temperature is a function of the position and the width of the applied RF spectrum. Good agreement with two-dimensional Fokker-Planck numerical results has been found.

Recent experiments on the spherical tokamak have discovered the conditions to create a powerful plasma and ensure easy shaping and amplification of stability, high bootstrap current and confinement energy. The spherical tours (ST) fusion energy development path is complementary to the tokamak burning plasma experiment such as NSTX and higher toroidal beta regimes and improves the design of a po...

Sawteeth have been suppressed by lower hybrid current drive in high density Alcator C plasmas. At a density of 1.1 x 101 4 cm-3 and q(a) = 4.7 the sawteeth were eliminated by application of P,.f = 600 kW at 4.6 GHz, which represents an estimated 30% of the rf power required to fully sustain the discharge in the absence of ohmic power. Strong electron heating is observed with both current drive ...
