Abstract:
Operating with a high frequency and a wave guide antenna, the ion Bernstein wave (IBW) experiment on the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade is not dominated, as expected, by nonlinear plasma edge phenomena. By coupling IBW power, a simultaneous increase of plasma density and central electron temperature (⩾2 keV) is produced when the confinement magnetic field is adjusted to set an ion cyclotron resonant layer in the plasma bulk. Transport analysis indicates a reduction of the electron thermal transport inside the internal resonant layer larger than a factor of 2.
