Abstract

Current drive using RF waves has been proposed as a means to reduce the tearing fluctuations responsible for anomalous energy transport in the RFP. A traveling wave antenna operating at 800 MHz is being used to launch lower hybrid waves into MST to assess the feasibility of this approach. Parameter studies show that edge density is a major factor in antenna/plasma coupling. Gas puffing near the antenna is shown to alter coupling without changing plasma conditions. Hard x-ray emission has been correlated to RF power and is seen to vary strongly with direction of power flow through the antenna.
