Title:

Transition of Radial Electric Field by Electron Cyclotron Heating in Stellarator Plasmas

Date of publication:

June 1993

Key words:

transition, radial electric field, density pump-out, electron cyclotron heating, stellarator, neoclassical particle flux

Abstract:

The transition of a radial electric field from a negative to a positive value is observed in Compact Helical System when the electron loss is sufficiently enhanced by the superposition of the off-axis second harmonic electron cyclotron heating on the neutral beam heated plasmas. The observed threshold for the enhanced particle flux required to cause the transition is compared with a theoretical prediction.
