Title: Assessment of ICRF Antenna Performance in Alcator C-Mod

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/828627· OSTI ID:828627

The Alcator C-Mod has presented a challenge to install high-power ICRF antennas in a tight space. Modifications have been made to the antenna plasma-facing surfaces and the internal current-carrying structure in order to overcome performance limitations. At the present time, the antennas have exceeded 5 MW into plasma with heating phasing, up to 2.7 MW with current-drive phasing, with good efficiency and no deleterious effects
