Description
On WEGA stellarator electron Bernstein waves have been applied for plasma heating. The excitation of the electrostatic Bernstein waves was possible due to an efficient two-step OXB mode conversion process from electromagnetic waves. Overdense plasma operation was reached in argon and helium and, rather surprisingly, a supra-thermal electron component could be detected (copyright 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co.
