Abstract

A currentless plasma with a volume-averaged beta value of 2% has been produced with neutral beam heating. Target plasmas were created by second harmonic resonance heating with electron cyclotron waves (150-350 kW and 53.2 GHz) at a magnetic field strength of 0.94 T. Neutral beam injection (23-30 keV and 1.3-2.6 MW) was used to heat the plasma further. MHD stable and unstable high-beta plasmas were observed. The Q-mode plasmas were produced with the help of intense neutral gas puffing. Properties of the MHD activity and confinement of high-beta plasmas are discussed and compared with theoretical studies.
