ENEA-IRIS Open Archive è l’archivio della produzione scientifica dell'ENEA, realizzato con l'obiettivo di raccogliere, catalogare e rendere facilmente accessibili in rete i risultati della ricerca. Gli autori dell’ENEA provvedono a depositare le proprie pubblicazioni (articoli su rivista, presentazioni a congressi, report, ecc.). In particolare, quelle finanziate dalla Commissione Europea nell’ambito del programma H2020 (che prevede il deposito obbligatorio in un Repository), una volta caricate, vengono automaticamente importate dal portale europeo OpenAIRE. È possibile inserire, o importare direttamente dalle banche dati previste, le informazioni descrittive del documento e anche allegare, ove consentito dalla normativa sul diritto d'autore, il testo completo della pubblicazione.

ENEA-IRIS Open Archive utilizza la piattaforma IRIS (Institutional Research Information System) sviluppata da CINECA.

The subject of this paper is the feasibility study of electron Bernstein wave heating (EBWH) at 140 GHz through the O-X-B double mode conversion in a plasma of the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU) device. The high-density profiles of the FTU plasma are shown and the results of the simulations of O-X coupling carried out with a dedicated ray-tracing code are presented. The simulations are aimed at finding the optimal launching conditions and to calculating the maximum coupling efficiency achievable with the FTU parameters. Also the effects predicted by a recent theoretical model available in the literature, which accounts for a description of the inhomogeneities of the toroidal plasma more realistically than a slab model, are evaluated. The parameters of the launched beam considered in the paper are those permitted with the new electron cyclotron resonance heating front steering launcher of FTU. © 2013 IAEA, Vienna.

Abstract

The subject of this paper is the feasibility study of electron Bernstein wave heating (EBWH) at 140 GHz through the O-X-B double mode conversion in a plasma of the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU) device. The high-density profiles of the FTU plasma are shown and the results of the simulations of O-X coupling carried out with a dedicated ray-tracing code are presented. The simulations are aimed at finding the optimal launching conditions and to calculating the maximum coupling efficiency achievable with the FTU parameters. Also the effects predicted by a recent theoretical model available in the literature, which accounts for a description of the inhomogeneities of the toroidal plasma more realistically than a slab model, are evaluated. The parameters of the launched beam considered in the paper are those permitted with the new electron cyclotron resonance heating front steering launcher of FTU. © 2013 IAEA, Vienna.
