Book Description
Experiments are underway in the Wisconsin Levitated Toroidal Octupole to create hot, dense plasmas to facilitate the study of .beta. limits and related phenomena such as Pfirsch-Schlueter and bootstrap currents. The question of ballooning mode instability limits on .beta. = 8 .pi.nk(T/sub i/+T/sub e/)/B2 is of general importance for all toroidal systems, and ICRF heating should permit study of high .beta. plasmas with lower collisionality and smaller gyroradii than those of the high .beta. gun-injected plasmas currently under study in the Octupole. To these ends we are developing sources capable of delivering 4 MW to the plasma (1.5 MW coupled to the plasma to date, the rest under development).

Book Description
A 1 MW, 2 msec pulse of rf power at the ion cyclotron frequency (2.6 MHz) was used to heat the ions from less than 1 eV to approximately 350 eV in a toroidal octupole device. The ion temperature is limited by charge exchange loss and agrees quantitatively with theoretical predictions. No parametric decay waves, enhanced diffusion, or other deleterious effects except for a high neutral reflux are observed to accompany the heating.
