Significant heating with the fast magnetosonic wave near the ion cyclotron frequency has been demonstrated in the present generation of tokamaks. Effective wave absorption and heating can be achieved either by using the second harmonic or by heating at the fundamental of a minority ion component. Recent experiments in PLT have facilitated the refinement of a heating model which both shows good agreement with experiment and predicts favorable scaling to hotter, denser plasmas. Details of the model, including full wave theory, power deposition, Fokker-Planck theory, and scaling are discussed.
