OSTI ID:6600429
An experimental program on electron-cyclotron current drive in the TORE SUPRA tokamak at Cadarache is planned. The target plasma is a Maxwellian bulk with a fast tail generated by lower-hybrid waves. The aim of the program is twofold, i.e., flexible radial profile control of the RF driven current and experimental proof of the electron-cyclotron current drive by relativistic electrons. In this paper, we present theoretical predictions converning the two problems.
