Current ramp-up by lower hybrid waves in the PLT tokamak
Recent lower hybrid current drive experiments have clearly demonstrated that the current in a tokamak discharge can be maintained by rf drive alone. We have extended the operating regime of such plasma to include ramping-up of the current. We find that at densities of approx. 2 x 10/sup 12/ cm/sup -3/ approximately 25% of the launched rf power is converted to magnetic field energy.
