Abstract

Plasma current start-up experiments using the lower hybrid wave (LHW) excited by a new dielectric loaded waveguide array antenna are planned on TST-2. The wave excitation efficiency of this antenna is investigated using a versatile FEM solver package, COMSOL. Propagation and absorption of the LHW are calculated by iterating between the TORLH full wave code and the CQL3D Fokker-Planck code. Wave absorption is very weak for Maxwellian plasma, but becomes stronger as the quasilinear deformation of the distribution function develops.
