Lower-Hybrid Current Drive in the PLT Tokamak

TL;DR: The principal current carrier appears to be a high energy (approx 100 keV) electron component, concentrated in the central 20 to 40 cm diameter core of the 80 cm discharge as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of parametric instabilities in lower hybrid radio frequency heating of tokamaks

TL;DR: In this article, experimental data showed that during lower hybrid radio frequency heating of the Princeton ATC Tokamak, parametric instabilities are excited, and the ion heating correlates with the presence of the parametric spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI

Landau damping of ion acoustic waves in highly ionized plasmas

TL;DR: In this article, the damping distance of the waves was found to be independent of ion density in the range between 2 x 10/sup 10/ and 3 x 10 /sup 11/ cm/sup -3/ and equal to 0.55 and 0.14 in potassium.

Formation of a 100-kA Tokamak Discharge in the Princeton Large Torus by Lower Hybrid Waves

TL;DR: The development of non-inductive current drive is of great importance in establishing the tokamak as a long-pulse or steady-state fusion reactor as discussed by the authors, and lower hybrid waves, carrying 200 kW of power at 800 MHz, have been launched into the Princeton Large Torus tokak to initiate and drive the discharge current to a level in excess of 100 kA.
