Simulation of electron cyclotron current drive and electron cyclotron resonant heating for the HL-2A tokamak

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/22/9/095201

Abstract A quasi-linear formalism is developed for relativistic particles. It is self-consistent including spatial diffusion. An attempt is made to simulate the process of electron cyclotron resonant heating (ECRH) and electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) for the HL-2A tokamak. Temperature oscillating regimes in Tore Supra diagnosed by MHD activity seem to be reproduced in the simulation. The special feature in this paper is to see the resonance in the long time scale for relativistic plasma.

Keywords: relativistic particles quasi-linear formalism three-dimensional diffusion
