Pinch effect in current sustaining tokamak by RF travelling wave

  • 1. Japan Atomic Energy Research Inst., Tokai, Ibaraki. Tokai Research Establishment

Description

In current sustaining tokamak by use of Landau damping, resonant particles feel an effective DC field in the toroidal direction to drive the plasma current, and still the rf field reaches thousand times larger than the Joule field. The density evolution has been simulated using one dimensional tokamak code including the current drive pinch due to inward Esub(rf) x Bsub(theta) drift. This effect could be the basis of the improvement of confinement and impurity control by rf traveling wave. (author)
