Initial ICRH experiments on EBT-S

  • 1. Oak Ridge National Lab., TN

Description

Steady-state, fast-wave ICRH experiments have been performed at power levels up to 10 kW on EBT-S using an all-metal, double Faraday-shielded 1200 loop antenna located in a cavity midplane. A broadband matching circuit was used covering the frequency range of 10 to 50 MHz. The experiments have shown: fairly high antenna loading for majority deuterium, minority hydrogen plasmas; somewhat weaker coupling for pure hydrogen plasmas; strongly damped but apparently propagating waves around the torus; and production of substantial energetic ion tails
