Book Description
The principal goal of ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) heating on the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) is to enhance plasma performance during the deuterium-tritium (DT) physics phase of operations. Strongly centralized ICRF heating may play a critical role in obtaining high Q{sub DT} and high [beta]{sub {alpha}} operation in TFTR, as well as in future fusion reactors. ICRF heating of a dilute minority species leads to the formation of an energetic ion population that, in turn, provides strong central electron heating. The corresponding rise in the central electron temperature translates into an increase in the slowing-down time of either neutral beam or alpha particles in the discharge. Preliminary DT simulations of the experimental results in deuterium-deuterium (DD) plasmas performed with the TRANSP code are presented in this paper.

Book Description
Magnetic Fusion Energy: From Experiments to Power Plants is a timely exploration of the field, giving readers an understanding of the experiments that brought us to the threshold of the ITER era, as well as the physics and technology research needed to take us beyond ITER to commercial fusion power plants. With the start of ITER construction, the world's magnetic fusion energy (MFE) enterprise has begun a new era. The ITER scientific and technical (S&T) basis is the result of research on many fusion plasma physics experiments over a period of decades. Besides ITER, the scope of fusion research must be broadened to create the S&T basis for practical fusion power plants, systems that will continuously convert the energy released from a burning plasma to usable electricity, operating for years with only occasional interruptions for scheduled maintenance. - Provides researchers in academia and industry with an authoritative overview of the significant fusion energy experiments - Considers the pathway towards future development of magnetic fusion energy power plants - Contains experts contributions from editors and others who are well known in the field

Book Description
The relevance of rf-sheath-plasma interactions to ICRF operation in TFTR has been studied. Screen-screen and screen-limiter rf sheaths have been identified and analyzed for the old and new Bay M geometries on TFIR, including sheath voltages driven by both feeders and the central antenna conductor. Calculations have been carried out to determine the effects of ICRF on edge transport (profile flattening by E [times] B convection), impurity influx ([delta]Z[sub eff]) and edge electron heating (FS glow phenomena) as a function of edge plasma parameters, rf power and antenna phasing. It was found that many of the experimentally observed ICRF-edge plasma interactions on TFIR are consistent with the predictions of rf sheath theory.
