Book Description
Preliminary results of the ECH experiment using the MIT Versator II with polarized microwave radiation were obtained. Decreases in both loop voltage and line average plasma density were measured as a function of power and toroidal angle of microwave beam injection. Thompson scattering measurements indicate an increase in the central electron temperature. These investigations showed a distinct asymmetry behavior for both polarizations.
