摘要
New experiments with the ion Bernstein waves (IBWs) have been performed in the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU) both in hydrogen and deuterium plasmas at higher power level, operation at higher density, higher plasma current and lower effective ion charge values than in the previous campaign. Improved confinement in a region with larger radius is obtained when operating in deuterium. Transport analysis shows a uniform decrease of the electron thermal conductivity by 40% over the radial region bounded by the absorption layer.
