Fast magnetosonic wave heating of the NUWMAK tokamak reactor

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6058491
; ; ;
Studies are presented of radiofrequency (RF) coupling and heating to ignition of a conceptual tokamak fusion reactor by means of the fast magnetosonic wave at the second ion cyclotron harmonic. first, the current status of fast magnetosonic wave propagation and heating, mode conversion, and eigenmode theory is briefly reviewed. Next, a space-averaged, time-dependent startup model is used to describe the role of RF heating for ignition of a tokamak reactor.
