Scattering and localizability of ECH (electron-cyclotron heating) power in CIT (Compact Ignition Tokamak)
The theory of scattering by drift-wave density fluctuations is applied to electron-cyclotron heating (ECH) in the Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT). It is found for CIT that the scattering angles are small and have a Gaussian distribution. An analytic result is given for the average number of scattering events suffered by a ray during propagation through the turbulence layer; this average number is 1.3 for the turbulence level expected in CIT. Localizability of ECH power in CIT is also studied for two choices of steering mirror. Better access to outer flux surfaces and better localization is achieved if the power is steered within a poloidal plane. 7 refs., 3 figs.
