Designing a Validation Experiment for Radio Frequency Condensation

Lanke Fu, E. Litvinova Mitra, R. Nies +18

Theoretical studies have suggested that nonlinear effects can lead to "radio frequency condensation", which coalesces RF power deposition and driven current near the center of a ma…

A novel Doppler backscattering (DBS) system to simultaneously monitor radio frequency plasma fluctuations and low frequency turbulence

S. Chowdhury, N. A. Crocker, W. A. Peebles +6

A novel quadrature Doppler Backscattering (DBS) system has been developed and optimized for the E-band (60-90GHz) frequency range using either O-mode or X-mode polarization in DIII…

The deteriorating effect of plasma density fluctuations on microwave beam quality

Alf Köhn, Max E. Austin, Michael W. Brookman +13

Turbulent plasma edge density fluctuations can broaden a traversing microwave beam degrading its quality. This can be a problem for scenarios relying on a high spatial localization…

Resolving ECRH deposition broadening due to edge turbulence in DIII-D by heat deposition measurement

Michael W Brookman, Matthew B Thomas, Jarrod Leddy +7

Interaction between microwave power, used for local heating and mode control, and density fluctuations can produce a broadening of the injected beam, as confirmed in experiment and…

Resolving ECRH deposition broadening due to edge turbulence in DIII-D by 3D full-wave simulations

Matthew B Thomas, Michael W Brookman, Max E Austin +5

Edge plasma density fluctuations are shown to have a significant effect on the electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) beam in the DIII-D tokamak. Experimental measurements of…
