Localized electron-cyclotron heating and current drive in the TIBER-II reactor study

  • 1. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, University of California, Livermire, CA 94550

Description

A scenario is shown for launching 10 MW of 450 GHz extraordinary-mode electron-cyclotron waves into a TIBER-II equilibrium. Localized, high-efficiency current drive near but outside the q = 2 surface causes substantial reduction in the current gradients that may play a role in major disruptions and anomalous transport. The same launch geometry shows promise for heating the plasma core during startup
