Experimental characterization of plasma start-up using ECRH in preparation of W7-X operation
The upcoming operation of Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) will be supported by an Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) system working at 140 GHz in second harmonic at the nominal magnetic field of 2.5T.

Selected highlights of ECH/ECCD physics studies in the TCV tokamak
The Tokamak a Configuration Variable, TCV, has used Electron Cyclotron Heating and Current Drive as its only auxiliary heating system for nearly two decades. In addition to basic plasma heating and current profiling, ECH and ECCD under either feedforward

On the thermal durability of solar prominences, or how to evaporate a prominence [PDF]
The thermal disappearance of solar prominences under strong perturbations due to wave heating, Ohmic heating, viscous heating or conduction was investigated. Specifically, how large a thermal perturbation is needed to destroy a stable thermal equilibrium

HEAT-SHIELDED MAGNETICALLY CHANNELED PLASMA HEAT CONVERTER [PDF]
A design for a thermionic converter is described which utilizes a permeable heat shield and a homogeneous magnetic field normal to the cathode and anode surfaces to minimize the radiant power loss without appreciably decreasing the electrical power output.

Electron cyclotron current start-up using a retarding electric field in the QUEST spherical tokamak
The plasma current start-up experiment is conducted through electron cyclotron (EC) heating in the QUEST spherical tokamak. During the EC heating, the application of a toroidal electric field in the opposite direction to the plasma current effectively ...
