Efficient calculations of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) in tokamaks are developed on the basis of a fully relativistic theory consistent with tokamak transport, which offers a new interpretation of the Fisch-Boozer mechanism. Results of modelling calculations in ITER-like plasmas are presented, showing current drive dependences on frequency, electron cyclotron launch angle and plasma temperature.

Abstract

Efficient calculations of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) in tokamaks are developed on the basis of a fully relativistic theory consistent with tokamak transport, which offers a new interpretation of the Fisch-Boozer mechanism. Results of modelling calculations in ITER-like plasmas are presented, showing current drive dependences on frequency, electron cyclotron launch angle and plasma temperature.
