Ion cyclotron resonance heating for tungsten control in various JET H-mode scenarios

Jonathan Graves, Javier García Hernández

Ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) in the hydrogen minority scheme provides central ion heating and acts favorably on the core tungsten transport. Full wave modeling shows that, at medium power level (4MW), after collisional redistribution, the ratio o ...
