Ion cyclotron resonance heating in a toroidal octupole

;
A 1 MW, 2 msec pulse of rf power at the ion cyclotron frequency (2.6 MHz) was used to heat the ions from less than 1 eV to approximately 350 eV in a toroidal octupole device. The ion temperature is limited by charge exchange loss and agrees quantitatively with theoretical predictions. No parametric decay waves, enhanced diffusion, or other deleterious effects except for a high neutral reflux are observed to accompany the heating.
