Gyrotropy-Induced Symmetry Breaking of Erosion Hot Spots on Antenna Limiters during High-Power Tokamak RF Operation: Mechanisms and Mitigation Strategies
W. Tierens, A. Kumar, J. Lore +4
Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies (ICRF) heating is essential for creating plasma in next-generation fusion devices. ICRF antennas often produce hot spots, reducing reliability, m…

Power coupled to the slow wave resonance cone in cold plasma
Wouter Tierens
We consider the power coupled to the plasma from a cylindrical source emitting resonance cones, propagative slow waves which exist in low density magnetized plasmas when the signs…
