Description
Potential confinement was demonstrated experimentally under various electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) scenarios. The particle confinement time and the plasma confining potential increased with ECRH power. The plug potential formation by means of only ωce ECRH was studied by Monte-Carlo simulation. Potential confinement experiments have advanced in higher density region up to 4 x 1012 cm-3. The higher density plasma was obtained by high frequency ICRF heating and recently installed neutral beam injector in the central cell. Studies of scaling relation of the potential confinement with respect to the plasma density have started with the high density plasma. (author)
