ICRH studies in TJ-IU torsatron

Preliminary studies for Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH) in the frequency range f=3-150 MHz are presented for TJ-IU torsatron. This wide range implies the use of two different theoretical models. The first valid for high frequency, where the WKB approximation is applicable, and the second one which solves the full wave equation in one dimension. The high frequency calculations have been made using a ray tracing code and taking into account the magnetic field and plasma 3-D inhomogeneity. The results obtained in this case are presented in the first paper of this report, being the most important the criterion to avoid Fast Wave (fw)-slow wave (SW) coupling at Lower Hybrid Resonance, near the plasma edge, and the existence of so called Localized Modes. for the low frequency range wave-length is of the size of the plasma radius, therefore, the WKB approximation cannot be used. In this case a 1-D model is used which disregards toroidal effects, to study the main available heating scenarios which are presented in the second work of this report. the studies are made for hydrogen, deuterium and mixed plasmas with and without He3 minority. Finally, the antenna designs to reach these several scenarios are presented in the third paper. Two different antenna models are provided for SW excitation, one of the current type and the other one of potential type. A third antenna is designed to excite FW which is similar to the current type antenna for SW, but rotated 90 degree Celsius
