Review of L-2M experiments

Description

The paper presents results of ECRH experiments carried out in the L2-M stellarator. The initial stage of the ECR discharge was studied, and the minimum breakdown time was observed when resonance conditions were satisfied at the vacuum magnetic axis. The results of the influence of plasma pressure on the shape of magnetic surfaces are presented. Scraping off the large-shear region by a limiter has shown that the shear at the plasma boundary affects weakly plasma confinement. Analysis of the electron temperature profiles has shown that the heating picture is in poor agreement with the ray-tracing calculations of the energy deposition profile. (author)
