AbstractAbstract
[en] With the addition of two new antennas and two radiofrequency (RF) generators, the TFTR ICRF system is complete. The total complement of four antennas and six generators is designed for 12.5 MW operation. Experiments with this system have been performed recently on TFTR in the low recycling regime to increase the performance of supershot plasmas, in a non-resonant regime to explore electron heating, and in high recycling discharges with energetic ion tails to simulate fusion alpha particles. Noteworthy results include: direct electron heating observed with absorption rates in agreement with theory; electron heating of supershot plasmas (ΔTe0 ∼ 2 keV) via energetic ion tails that would increase the pressure of the alpha particles in DT plasmas; and the first observation of the toroidal Alfven eigenmode (TAE) instability driven by the energetic ion tail in hydrogen minority heating.
