Description

Theoretical models of EBW conversion mechanism are verified on Castor with simulated overdense plasma. Direct EBW-X conversion has been detected by a recently constructed ECE radiometer 17-40 GHz with a perpendicularly positioned antenna. The crucial role of plasma edge density gradient has been confirmed. (author)
