The constructive interference effect described by Fuchs et al. [1] shows that the mode conversion and thereby the overall heating efficiency can be enhanced significantly when an integer number of fast wave wavelengths can be folded in between the high field side fast wave cutoff and the ion-ion hybrid layer(s) at which the ion Bernstein or ion cyc…

Experiments on the JET tokamak show that the wave-induced pinch in the presence of toroidally asymmetric waves can provide a tool for controlling the profile of ion-cyclotron-resonant 3 He ions. Direct evidence for the wave-induced pinch has been obtained from the measured -ray emission profiles. Concurrent differences in the excitation of Alfve?n …

The RF-induced pinch of 3 He minority ions has been observed in JET affecting the diamagnetic energy, the fast ion energy content, the sawtooth period, the Alfvén eigenmode excitation and the y-emission. Further, the y-emission is consistent with RF-detrapping into co-current passing orbits. The results from the SELFO code are consistent with the …
