Enhanced current drive with lower hybrid and ion Bernstein waves

  • 1. Massachusetts Inst. of Tech., Cambridge, MA (United States). Plasma Fusion Center

Description

The lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) efficiency in ICRF heated plasmas is enhanced by mode converted ion Bernstein waves (IBWs) when the mode conversion region is in the central part of the plasmas. This interaction could be responsible for the observed 'synergy' in JET. An analytical model which parameterizes the conditions for enhanced mode conversion is derived and results for some tokamak scenarios are presented. (author). 13 refs, 4 figs
