Experiment on RF plasma production in CHS

  • 1. Nagoya Univ. (Japan). Inst. of Plasma Physics

Description

ICRF waves are applied to produce and heat a currentless plasma. Three waves (a whistler wave, a slow wave and an ion Bernstein wave) have been chosen for the plasma production. Two different type antennas are used to excite these waves. One is a pair of quarter turn antennas for the whistler wave excitation and another is the Nagoya Type-III antenna for excitation of the slow and ion Bernstein waves. Both antennas have Faraday shields. These antennas were designed to fit the plasma boundary. Plasma of ne0=2-5x1012cm-3, Te(0)=100-300eV and Ti(0)=200-300eV was produced and sustained with the RF only. (author). 2 refs, 5 figs
