Description

Current drive due to plane polarized waves in rotating plasmas is studied. Low frequency compressional waves are considered. It is shown that, in this case, helicity is spontaneously generated within the plasma and that one can get an efficiency which is as good as that due to circularly polarized waves. copyright 1997 American Institute of Physics
