摘要: The empirical analysis of the electron density evolution during ECRH is given. It shown that when recycling from walls low and neutral gas injection rate kept constant, ECW line drops mainly as a consequence net decrease in total particle number, whereas profile reshaping occurs only for some conditions. also phenomenon resonant nature but not by-product plasma heating. By considering fast time scale on which balance changes by comparing to following step-wise reduction rate, it inferred confinement degraded presence EC waves. consistency this conclusion with all experimental evidence positively verified.
