Multiple striated heat fluxes on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) first wall are observed with lower hybrid wave (LHW) heating on the EAST device. Our analysis indicates that the heat source for the striated heat flux is from LHW absorption in the scrape-off layer (SOL). Magnetic field line tracing from the front of the LHW antenna grills is in good agreement with the striated heat flux profile. In addition, the relative intensity of the LHW absorption in the SOL is consistent with the measured striated heat flux. Furthermore, the heat flux at inner strike points and outer strike points significantly decreased when the ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) wave was switched off, while there was no change for the striated heat flux, which suggests that the striated heat flux is independent of the injected power to the core plasma.
