Description
Plasma heating and potential formation by mode controlled ICRF are investigated in the HIEI tandem mirror. Central cell plasma heating is provided by a shear Alfven wave which is mode converted from the helicon/fast wave launched at the midplane. The ion confining potential is created in the plug cells by a combination of sloshing ion formation and electron heating due to the central cell ICRF propagating to the plug cells. It is shown that additional application of the plug cell ICRF produces a thermal barrier resulting in enhancement of the ion confining potential. The mechanism of the thermal barrier pumping is attributed to the ICRF ponderomotive force. (author). 5 refs, 4 figs
