Creating poloidal flux in a tokamak plasma with low frequency waves

  • 1. California Inst. of Tech., Pasadena, CA (United States)

Description

Using a fully toroidal, collisionless, low frequency model, we show that low amplitude, circularly polarized waves can, depending on antenna geometry (i) drive the toroidal EMF necessary to sustain a tokamak reactor, or (ii) shift the internal current profile. Measurements on a small tokamak to test (ii) agree with the model predictions. (orig.)
