abstract = "The potential of an EBW heating scheme via the O - X - B mode conversion scenarios has been investigated for the PEGASUS toroidal experiment. With the 2D full-wave code IPF-FDMC the O - X conversion has been modeled as a function of the poloidal and toroidal injection angles for a microwave frequency of 2.45 GHz. Based on preliminary Langmuir probe measurements in the mode conversion layer, different density profiles have been also included in the simulations. A maximum mode conversion efficiency of approximately 80 % has been found, making EBW heating an attractive heating scheme for PEGASUS.",
