Description

Microwave heating of overdense low-temperature plasmas, whose density exceeds the cutoff density of the injected microwave, is described for the stellarator TJ-K. Three different methods featuring each of their own characteristics are briefly presented. It is shown that TJ-K allows both fusion relevant scenarios such as heating by electron Bernstein waves and fundamental wave-plasma interactions like parametric decay instabilities to be investigated.
