Description

The absorption of ECF power launched nearly perpendicular to the magnetic field, ECF current drive and generation of suprathermal electrons is analysed using a 3-D ray tracing code in combination with a simplified Fokker-Planck solution for which the ECF energy source function is estimated by means of quasilinear theory. Results are compared with W VII-A experimental data of ECF current drive and electron cyclotron emission. (author)
