Stallard, B W

The thermal barrier concept and the use of ECRH to generate the several electron populations required to establish confinement are discussed. Important physics issues related to the microwave heating are discussed. Fokker-Planck calculations which model the heating processes are presented, followed by recent experimental data on hot electron heating.
