In this paper the results of the experiments of combined injection of LH waves and EC waves performed in the FTU tokamak are reported. Such experiments were mainly devoted to study and to control the access to the advanced tokamak scenarios in plasma conditions close to ITER parameters (Bt?5T or higher, ne,line?1020 m-3). Two different absorption mechanisms were used for the EC waves. In the first one the cold resonance absorption of EC waves launched with a toroidal angle was used to induce small modification of the current profile mainly maintained by LH waves. In the second one the absorption through Doppler shift due to the fast electron tails generated by LHCD was used.

Abstract
In this paper the results of the experiments of combined injection of LH waves and EC waves performed in the FTU tokamak are reported. Such experiments were mainly devoted to study and to control the access to the advanced tokamak scenarios in plasma conditions close to ITER parameters (Bt?5T or higher, ne,line?1020 m-3). Two different absorption mechanisms were used for the EC waves. In the first one the cold resonance absorption of EC waves launched with a toroidal angle was used to induce small modification of the current profile mainly maintained by LH waves. In the second one the absorption through Doppler shift due to the fast electron tails generated by LHCD was used.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
