摘要：

The reduction of neoclassical tearing modes by ECCD is demonstrated experimentally. It is shown that with an averaged ECCD power of only 4-8% of the total heating power injected into the discharge, the island width can be reduced ly 40%; provided that the centre of deposition is very close to the resonant surface. The reduction in mode amplitude results in a partial recovery of the loss of stored energy induced by the mode. This experimental result is well reproduced by modelling calculations.
