Abstract

Strong minority proton heating is produced in the Princeton Large Torus through ioncyclotron resonance damping of fast waves at moderate rf power levels. In addition to demonstrating good proton confinement, the proton energy distribution is consistent with Fokker-Planck theory which provides the prescription for extrapolation of this heating regime to higher rf power levels and other minority species.
