Abstract:Abstract. High poloidal beta (Hβ p ~1) operation in steady state condition in tokamaks is of great interest and has previously been demonstrated using NBI, LHCD and low current (I p ) plasma for a short time (<0.5 s). A very few experiments however, have been performed towards the investigation of highest obtainable β p in tokamak plasma. In this work we report the first result of high β p production and its sustainment though an off axis ECCD at two different frequencies (fundamental and second harmonic) in O… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
