Current drive by fast magnetosonic waves near the lower hybrid frequency in the JIPP T-IIU tokamak

Description

Current drive by fast magnetosonic waves is successfully performed in the JIPP T-IIU tokamak by means of a four-element dipole antenna array with Faraday shield. The plasma current of about 40 kA is sustained by RF power of about 50 kW in the low density plasma of 2 - 4 x 1012 cm-3 with an efficiency comparable to that of the slow wave current drive. A clear density limit for fast magnetosonic current drive exists contrary to theoretical expectations based on linear wave propagation. (author)
