    Notes: In the Phaedrus-T tokamak [R. A. Breun et al., Fusion Technol. 19, 1327 (1991)], Alfvén waves are indirectly driven by a fast wave antenna array. Small fractions of minority ions are shown to have a large effect on the Alfvén spectrum, as measured at the edge. An ion–ion hybrid Alfvén mode has been identified by measuring dispersion properties. Landau damping is predicted to be large and spatially localized. These Alfvénic waves are experimentally shown to generate correlated electron heating and changes in density near the core of the tokamak plasma. Fast wave antenna fields can mode convert at a hybrid Alfvén resonance and provide a promising route to spatially localized tokamak heating and current drive, even for low effective ionic charge Zeff≈1.3–2. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In the Phaedrus-T tokamak [R. Majeski et al., Phys Fluids B 5, 2506 (1993)], Alfvén waves are indirectly driven by a fast wave antenna array. Small fractions of minority ions can couple Alfvén and ion–ion hybrid waves and have a large effect on the wave numbers accessible for a given launched frequency. A discrete spectrum and toroidal damping for these modes has been identified by measuring dispersion properties at the edge. Landau damping is predicted to be large and spatially localized and to be responsible for the experimentally observed electron heating (T. Intrator et al., "Alfvén ion–ion hybrid wave heating in the Phaedrus-T tokamak,'' to appear in Phys. Plasmas) and current drive near the core of the tokamak plasmas. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The numerically predicted magnetic surface structure within the separatrix of the interchangeable module stellarator (IMS) [IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci. PS-9, 212 (1981)] has been measured experimentally with the use of an electron beam. The results show nested, well-formed surfaces with a rotational transform profile corresponding to the predicted profile. In the area outside the separatrix, regions of localized magnetic flux emergence from the coil volume (modular divertors) have been seen using an electron beam as well as during plasma operation, and correspond to regions of localized particle flux emergence from between the modular coils.

    Notes: We describe a technique to routinely measure the scattering matrix of a radio frequency (rf) current drive antenna in a magnetic fusion experiment during high power operation. This technique can be used under any conditions of phase or amplitude of excitation. It involves modulation of the phase of the rf voltage applied to each of the antenna ports by a few degrees, measurement of the complex forward and reflected voltages, detection of the phase modulation, and solution of a 2×2 matrix problem to yield the scattering matrix. Further calculation then yields the antenna's impedance matrix. Because it involves only a small modulation, this method can be used to routinely monitor matching, decoupling, or plasma loading and to provide input to tuning calculations so that the matching and phasing conditions can be maintained. We show results for the case of 400 kW Alfvèn wave current drive experiments on the Phaedrus-T tokamak. We also show how the results can be used to tune the antenna. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
