Description

Extremely overdense spherical tokamak plasmas are produced non-inductively with electron Bernstein waves mode-converted via O-X-B scheme. When the fundamental electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) layer is located at the plasma core and the 2nd harmonic ECR layer is near the outboard vessel wall and the upper hybrid resonance layer is located between them, significant density rise is obtained with a strong gas puffing preventing hot spots and without intermittent plasma ejection phenomenon.
