Fast-wave current drive in a toroidal plasma.
Fast-wave current drive is demonstrated in Hw Princeton ACT -I toroidal device. The fast Alfven wave, in the range of high ion-cyclotron harmonics, produced 40 A of current from 1 kW of rf power coupled into a plasma hy a fast-wave locp antenna. This wave excites a steady current by damping on the energetic tail of the electron distribution function in the same way as lower-hybrid current drive...
متن کاملKinetic stress and intrinsic flow in a toroidal plasma.
A new mechanism for intrinsic plasma flow has been experimentally identified in a toroidal plasma. For reversed field pinch plasmas with a few percent β (ratio of plasma pressure to magnetic pressure), measurements show that parallel pressure fluctuations correlated with magnetic fluctuations create a kinetic stress that can affect momentum balance and the evolution of intrinsic plasma flow. Th...

We present the first observation of circular dichroism due to a combination of resonant toroidal dipole and electric quadrupole excitations in a toroidal metamaterial.
متن کاملFast-ion transport during repetitive burst phenomena of Toroidal Alfvén Eigenmodes in the Large Helical Device
Alfvén instabilities induced fast-ion losses have been directly observed for the first time by a newly developed scintillator lost ion probe (SLIP) in the Large Helical Device (LHD). The SLIP can measure the pitch angle and gyro radius of escaped fast ions toward loss region. Neutral beam driven Alfvén Eigenmodes (AEs) are excited under the reactor relevant conditions: the ratio of fast ion (be...
متن کاملZero-turbulence manifold in a toroidal plasma.
Sheared toroidal flows can cause bifurcations to zero-turbulent-transport states in tokamak plasmas. The maximum temperature gradients that can be reached are limited by subcritical turbulence driven by the parallel velocity gradient. Here it is shown that q/ϵ (magnetic field pitch/inverse aspect ratio) is a critical control parameter for sheared tokamak turbulence. By reducing q/ϵ, far higher ...
