Metal screen antenna for heating a plasma

Creators

Description

This invention relates to an antenna for heating a plasma. It can be used in the design of plasma sources, particularly those for use in thermonuclear facilities or with devices for studying the conditions for achieving such fusion. The most promising heating methods use intense beams of neutral atoms or great amplitude high frequency or UHF waves. This invention comes within the scope of the second family of methods and concerns a component called 'antenna' which enables the heating energy transmission cable from a generator and the plasma to be heated, to be coupled

Abstract (French)

La presente invention a pour objet une antenne pour le chauffage d'un plasma. Elle trouve une application dans la realisation de sources de plasma destinees notamment a des installations de fusion thermonucleaire, ou a des dispositifs d'etude des conditions d'obtention de cette fusion. Les methodes de chauffage les plus prometteuses utilisent soit des faisceaux intenses d'atomes neutres, soit des ondes haute frequence (ou hyperfrequence) de grande amplitude. La presente invention entre dans le cadre de la seconde famille de methodes et porte sur un element appele 'antenne' qui permet le couplage entre la ligne de transport de l'energie de chauffage provenant d'un generateur et le plasma a chauffer
