The large helical device (LHD) has fourteen experiment cycles so far. The ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) heating has been carried out successfully on LHD; High RF power heating up to 3MW and the long pulse plasma discharge up to about one hour (54 minutes) have been achieved using the poloidal array (PA) antennas. In the 14
th experiment cycle (2010) a new one pair of ICRF heating antennas was installed in LHD. This pair consists of two antennas arrayed in the toroidal direction and has a controllability of the wave number along the magnetic field line k∥ with changing the phase difference between them. The target plasma consisted of the helium plasma as the majority with the hydrogen-ion minority. Several experiment results were obtained and compared with those obtained using the PA antenna (no capability of changing k∥ ). The fast wave with a large k∥ is excited with (0, π) phasing between two antennas, and a small wave-number of k∥ with (0, 0) phasing. The plasma loading resistance in (0, π) was found to be smaller than that of (0, 0) phasing. On the other hand the plasma heating efficiency in (0, π) phasing was much better than that in (0, 0) phasing. The plasma heating efficiency was assessed using the modulated RF power and the variation of plasma stored energy in the RF power modulation method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Noninductive plasma current (I
p ) start-up experiments using RF power in the lower hybrid frequency range are being conducted on the TST-2 spherical tokamak. The lower hybrid wave (LHW) has demonstrated efficient current drive in conventional tokamaks. However, in spherical tokamak (ST) plasmas with very high dielectric constants (;[variant_greek_epsilon]∼ωpe 2 /Ωe 2 >1), accessibility of the LHW to the plasma core is severely limited. Our approach is to keep the plasma density low (such that [variant_greek_epsilon]∼1) during Ip ramp-up. Once Ip reaches a level sufficiently high for neutral beam current drive, plasma can be densified and transformed into an advanced tokamak plasma dominated by the self-driven bootstrap current. Initial plasma start-up experiments were performed on TST-2 using a combline antenna which excites a traveling fast wave. After formation of toroidal flux surfaces, RF power and vertical field were ramped up to increase Ip . Up to 12 kA of Ip has been obtained by this method. Soft X-ray measurements indicate that the electron temperature increases as Ip increases, and hard X-ray spectroscopy indicates that energetic electrons build up as Ip is ramped up.

The plasma coupling characteristics and local heat spots of an ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) antenna in the Large Helical Device (LHD) are compared with the results of 3-D computing simulator code calculation. We studied several dependences of antenna loading resistances with plasma experimentally and observed a clear relation between the maximum injection power and the loading resistance. Realistic three-dimensional configuration of the ICRF antenna was taken into account to simulate the coupling characteristics and the local heat absorption near the ICRF antenna, which has a helically twisted geometry in the LHD. The electromagnetic field distribution and the current distribution on the antenna strap were calculated. We compared the RF absorption distribution on the antenna structure with the temperature rise during steady state operation and found that the temperature rise was well explained by comparing with the model simulation.

In LHD, long-pulse discharge has been conducted by ICRF minority ion heating. Plasma duration time of 525 seconds was achieved with the heating power of more than 1 MW supported by ECH and NBI. Electron heating by the mode conversion from the fast wave to the ion Bernstein wave was investigated to achieve a longer pulse length with the higher injection power. Plasma was sustained for 88 seconds by the mode conversion heating and ECH. The temperature distribution on divertor plates was less localized than that of minority ion heating.

The confinement of high-energy particles produced by ICRF heating was studied in LHD experimentally setting magnetic axis at 3.6m and 3.75m in two methods. It was concluded that the confinement of high-energy particles with Rax=3.6 m was better than that with Rax=3.75m. Based on this result the long pulse experiments were conducted in the magnetic configuration of Rax=3.6m. The plasma was sustained for 150sec. The total input power reached 71MJ though the pulse length was limited by the collapse of plasma due to density increase. The second harmonic experiment was done also with Rax=3.6m. The stored energy increased and the particles with the high-energy were observed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

FEEDBACK control systems ,ELECTRIC impedance ,ION acoustic waves - Abstract
A long pulse discharge more than 2 minutes was achieved using Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequency (ICRF) heating only on the Large Helical Device (LHD). The final goal is a steady state operation (30 minutes) at MW level. A liquid stub tuner was newly invented to cope with the long pulse discharge. The liquid surface level was shifted under a high RF voltage operation without breakdown. In the long pulse discharge the reflected power was observed to gradually increase. The shift of the liquid surface was thought to be inevitably required at the further longer discharge. An ICRF heating system consisting of a liquid stub tuner was fabricated to demonstrate a feedback control impedance matching. The required shift of the liquid surface was predicted using a forward and a reflected RF powers as well as the phase difference between them. A liquid stub tuner was controlled by the multiprocessing computer system with CINOS (CHS Integration No Operating System) methods. The prime objective was to improve the performance of data processing and controlling a signal response. By employing this method a number of the program steps was remarkably reduced. A real time feedback control was demonstrated in the system using a temporally changed electric resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ION acoustic waves ,PLASMA heating ,ION cyclotron resonance spectrometry - Abstract
Heating experiment using high-power ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) waves has been carried out and remarkable results as an ICRF heating in helical system were obtained in LHD. The maximum ICRF power was 2.7 MW. Good heating condition was obtained when the ion cyclotron resonance layer was located near the saddle point of the magnetic field. In this condition, the wave frequency is 38.47 MHz and strength of magnetic field is 2.75 T. Most of ICRF power was absorbed by ions and behavior of high-energy ions was investigated in the various heating conditions. The stored energy more than 1 MJ was achieved by combination of the ICRF heating with NBI heating. Fundamental cyclotron heating was observed in the high stored energy experiment. Second harmonic heating regime was shown to be useful heating scheme in LHD. The length of the ICRF pulse was extended to more than two minutes in the low power operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PLASMA gases ,CYCLOTRONS - Abstract
Ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) heating experiments on the Large Helical Device (LHD) [O. Motojima et al. Fus. Eng. Des. 20, 3 (1993)] achieved significant advances during the third experimental campaign carried out in 1999. They showed significant results in two heating modes; these are modes of the ICH-sustained plasma with large plasma stored energy and the neutral beam injection (NBI) plasma under additional heating. A long-pulse operation of more than 1 minute was achieved ata level of 1 MW. The characteristics of the ICRF heated plasma are the same as those of the NBI heated plasma. The energy confinement time is longer than that of International Stellarator Scaling 95. Three keys to successful ICRF heating are as follows: (1) an increase in the magnetic field strength, (2) the employment of an inward shift of the magnetic axis, (3) the installation of actively cooled graphite plates along the divertor legs. Highly energetic protons accelerated by the ICRF electric field were experimentally observed in the energy range from 30 to 250 keV and the tail temperature depended on the energy balance between the wave heating and the electron drag. The transfer efficiency from the high energy ions to the bulk plasma was deduced from the increase in the energy confinement time due to the high energy ions in the lower density discharge, which agrees fairly well with the result obtained by the Monte Carlo simulation. The transfer efficiency is expected to be 95% at an electron density of more than n[sub e] = 5.0 × 10[sup 19] m[sup -3] even in the high power heating of 10 MW. The accumulation of impurities, e.g., FeXVI and OV was not observed in high rf power and long pulse operation. The well-defined divertor intrinsic to LHD is believed to be useful in reducing the impurity influx. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
AbstractA heating system for the Large Helical Device (LHD) based on the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) heating is reviewed. Various physical and engineering issues were studied and solved to construct an effective and stable system for high-power, steady-state experiments in LHD. Successful results were achieved using six loop antennas. The physical design of the ICRF antenna was an important subject during the research and development phase. A single current strap antenna was adopted to maintain high coupling resistance. The antenna designed to conform to the LHD plasma shape provided effective plasma heating. Steady-state operation is one of the most important mission items of superconducting LHD device. Many ICRF components, including the transmitter, transmission line, impedance matching tuner, feedthrough ceramics, and antenna launcher, were developed and applied in long-pulse experiments. All components are water cooled to remove the heat loss during the operation. Especially, a liquid stub impedance tuner using dielectric liquid was developed and implemented for the first time in a plasma experiment. An antenna launcher was also designed with the ability to change its position during the steady-state operation. Steady-state operation for 54 min with an input energy of 1.6 GJ was achieved, the largest input energy on record for a toroidal plasma device.

- Abstract
AbstractThe long-pulse plasma discharge experiment is an important experiment in the Large Helical Device, which has a superconducting coil system and the capability of steady-state operation. The experiment of long-pulse plasma discharge was carried out using mainly ion cyclotron range of frequencies heating. The maximum plasma duration is 31 min and 45 s, and the total injected heating energy reached 1.3 GJ. Swing of the magnetic axis is adopted as an effective method to scatter the local heat load on the divertor plate during the discharge. The plasma was terminated abruptly by the influx of metallic impurities accompanied by a spark in the vacuum vessel.
