Lecture

Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating

Description

This lecture covers the principles of Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) for plasma heating and current drive. Topics include wave-particle resonances, ECRH system components like gyrotrons, and examples from TCV tokamak and ITER. The instructor explains the use of ECRH for instability control and compares ECRH with other plasma heating systems.
