ICRH experiments in a toroidal octupole

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4152852
A 100 kW, 144 $mu$sec pulse of 1.4 MHz rf is used to heat plasmas with densities less than or equal to 3 x 10$sup 12$ cm$sup -3$ at the ion cyclotron frequency in a toroidal octupole. The rf is coupled to the plasma by a single turn, electrostatically shielded hoop coaxial to the four main hoops and located near the wall. Absorbed power is inferred from plasma loading of the hoop and measured directly with an electrostatic ion energy analyzer and compared to single particle resonance heating theory. (auth)
