Feasibility of rf plasma heating in the Globus-M spherical tokamak at frequencies above the ion cyclotron frequency

Feasibility of rf plasma heating in the Globus-M spherical tokamak at frequencies several times higher than the ion cyclotron frequency is considered. Results from a numerical analysis of this problem by using one-and two-dimensional codes are presented. It is shown that, for the plasma parameters attainable in this device, the single-pass absorption of fast magnetosonic waves reaches 60%. The energy is released near the plasma axis. The radiation resistance of a one-loop antenna should be close to 1 Ω. The design of an antenna that allows one to match the rf oscillator to the load is described. The parameters of the antenna resonator required for optimum operation of the antenna are given.     

Sharp hollow density profile with TVTS on ECRH JFT-2M plasma

The first hollow electron density profile in the central region is measured during the electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) on the JFT-2M tokamak with a TV Thomson scattering system. The density of the peripheral region is not hollow but is accumulated by the pump out from the central region and the gas puffing from outside. The hollowness increases with time but is saturated at ∼ 40 ms and maintains the constant hollow ratio in spite of a slight decrease of temperature. The hollowness is strongly connected with the steep temperature gradient of the heated zone.

Some perspectives on the use of powerful gyrotrons for the electron-cyclotron plasma heating in large tokamaks

Conclusion The main problems for the further development of high efficiency powerful gyrotrons are obviously the elaboration of electron guns with a large current density and the ensuring of a stable single-mode operation in resonators with a large cross-section. For the increase in microwave pulse energy (with a pulse length of the order of the time of plasma confinement in large tokamaks) the investigation of the possibilities to diminish heating loads in the resonator and output window of a gyrotron is necessary.     

Geodesic mode instability driven by the electron current in tokamak plasmas

Effect of the parallel electron current on Geodesic Acoustic Modes (GAM) in a tokamak is analyzed by kinetic theory taking into the account the ion Landau damping and diamagnetic drifts. It is shown that the electron current modeled by shifted Maxwell distribution may overcome the phase velocity threshold and ion Landau damping thus resulting in the GAM instability when the parallel electron current velocity is larger than the effective parallel GAM phase velocity Rqω. The instability occurs due to its cross term of the current with the ion diamagnetic drift. Possible applications to tokamak experiments are discussed.
