- 論文の詳細を見る
In the TST-2 spherical tokamak, a non-inductive start-up plasma produced by electron cyclotron heating (ECH) at 2.45 GHz (3-5 kW) is sustained by RF wave heating at 21 MHz (10-24 kW). A current jump, which occurs at a certain time when only ECH is used, can be induced earlier by the RF heating, and a constant plasma current is sustained even after the ECH power is turned off. The plasma current is sustained in both hydrogen and deuterium plasmas, as long as the RF power exceeds a threshold level, which is lower for deuterium plasma. The maximum sustainment time by the the RF power alone was 40 ms, limited by the RF pulse length. According to CCD camera images of the total plasma light, the major radii are almost the same, but the RF-sustained plasma has a more peaked profile, compared with the distribution of an ECH-sustained plasma.
