BibTeX Entry

Experimental results on waveguide-plasma coupling and rf heating in the vicinity of the lower-hybrid frequency in the M.I.T. Alcator-A and in Versator II tokamaks are reported. The forthcoming Alcator-C lower-hybrid heating experimental parameters are summarized. From Princeton results on several small-scale experiments, related to waveguide-plasma coupling (H-1) and rf current drive (ACT-l), are presented, as well as recent theoretical investigations of efficient rf current generation using lower-hybrid waves or Alfvén waves.
