Review of CHS experiment

Description

Heating experiments with 28GHz/53GHz ECH and NBI have been done under the following conditions: the field strength Bt from 0.46T to 1.5T, heating powers up to 150kW and 1.1MW for ECH and NBI respectively. The line averaged electron density n-bare is 0.1∼10x1013cm-3, electron and ion temperatures are up to about 1.1keV and 600eV respectively: the collisionality ranges from the plateau to 1/ν regime. Magnetic field configuration study, where the magnetic axis position is scanned from the viewpoint of loss cone, shows that the confinement characteristics improve at an inward shifted axis position. Global energy confinement time is found to follow the LHD scaling and to be improved compared with the scaling in some discharges. (author)
