Abstract The general physics of
plasma wave heating of magnetically confined plasma will be discussed. A presentation
of the basic physical mechanism, theoretical models, and experimental results
will be given. Emphasis will be placed on heating in the ion cyclotron range
of frequencies, the use of lower-hybrid waves to generate current, and the
use of electro-cyclotron heating in tandem mirrors. Additional applications
will also be given. |
