Abstract:PPPLElectron Bernstein waves (EBW) are being investigated for plasma heating and current drive of overdense plasmas on NSTX [1]. EB emission studies on NSTX have shown promising coupling results during some plasma edge conditions and are supportive of further work in high power heating and current drive. Additionally Electron Cyclotron heating (ECH) has several uses during under dense conditions such as plasma startup assist and coaxial helicity injection (CHI) start up assist. A 3 MW EBW system has been propo… Show more
