Description

Electron Cyclotron Radio Frequency heating of the Compact Ignition Tokamak to ignition utilizing a constant source frequency is proposed. The importance of varying the anomalous conductivity ratio is examined for high density discharges with parabolic density profiles. It is concluded that low to moderate values of the anomalous conductivity ratio are desirable for ignition at reasonable RF and alpha powers, with confinement times of the order of 0.6 sec
