Abstract
- Heating with the wave in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) has been used in the development of high-performance H-mode operations in EAST. A different ion cyclotron resonance heating scenario in three-ion component plasma with real experimental parameters on EAST was investigated using a numerical tool. Excellent radio frequency wave absorption was found with an extremely low 3He concentration (0.1%–0.4%) in D-H-(3He) plasma, by adjusting the plasma composition appropriately in our simulation. In this case, the 3He fundamental resonance layer is located between the two ion–ion hybrid resonance-cutoff pairs in close proximity, and therefore E + of the wave was considerably enhanced near the 3He fundamental resonance layer. The minority 3He tail was estimated to be superenergetic (∼1 MeV) because of the high power carried by each resonant 3He ion. The potential of the three-ion ICRF heating means on EAST was shown, and the scenarios investigated are particularly promising for fast particle generation schemes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
