Description

Electron cyclotron heating (ECH) experiment has been performed in the helical-heliotron device, Heliotron J. The magnetic field range for plasma production is fairly wide compared to that in that plane-axis helical system. The breakdown occurs even when no resonant layer exists within the last closed flux surface. The effective core heating has been observed under the condition that no resonant layer for electromagnetic waves exists in the core region. One possible explanation is presented using an extraordinary to electron Bernstein mode conversion process.
