Abstract

The results from an experimental study of electron Bernstein wave (EBW) to X-mode conversion (B-X) directed at developing a T_e diagnostic and assessing the prospects for EBW heating and current drive were reported. Thus, a demonstration of efficient B-X conversion validates the prospect of X-B heating/current drive. Although B-X conversion was also being studied on the Madison Symmetric Torus RFP, the unique aspect of the work reported was that it investigates the B-X theory in detail while controlling and optimizing the B-X conversion through the implementation of a local limiter.
