Description

New experimental results from 4.6GHz LHW driven plasma rotation were presented, which confirmed the fact that the rotation was originated at the plasma edge. LHCD-induced rotation change decreased with Ip and density and evolves at a time scale much longer than plasma temperature and stored energy. Rotation change is closely correlated with current density profile, both of which evolve at a similar time scale. Direct effect from LHW momentum input was observed to result in ctr-current rotation change, followed by co-current resulting from possible j×B force. (author)
