Description

By means of dual 8.2 GHz and 28 GHz waves, the over dense 25 kA plasma with central high energetic-electron pressure was non-inductively built up and sustained for 0.4 s by Electron Bernstein Wave Heating (EBWH) effect between 8.2 GHz fundamental and 2nd harmonic Electron Cyclotron (EC) layers. Spontaneous Density Jumps (SDJs) have been clearly observed at a few times in a shot, and the electron density became over dense for the 8.2 GHz injection. The bulk electron temperature or pressure increased in the over dense region being fundamentally Doppler-shifted resonant with the parallel refractive index N// > 4 for the 8.2 GHz injection. Current-carrying energetic electrons with more than 200 keV were remarkably observed in the over dense region due to the 8.2 GHz EBWH effect.
