ICRH assisted breakdown study on JET

Benoît Labit, Haomin Sun, Thomas Binderup Jensen

Ion cyclotron (IC) wave assisted breakdown has the potential to increase the robustness of plasma initiation during the ITER pre-fusion operation phase. Studies were performed at JET at ITER relevant loop electric field, E-loop ? 0.33 Vm(-1), and a range o ...
