Title: Formation of Spherical Tokamak by ECH without Center Solenoid in the LATE Device

Abstract

In the LATE device, Spherical Tokamak (ST) plasmas are formed by electron cyclotron heating (ECH) without center solenoid. Two types of experiments are described: (1) slow formation of ST plasmas and (2) spontaneous formation of ST plasmas with rapid-current-rise. A ST formation scenario is discussed including the current-drive mechanism, particle confinement and MHD equilibrium.
