On the evaluation of currents in a tokamak plasma during combined ohmic and RF current drive
Abstract
By taking into account the radio frequency (rf) generated enhancement of the plasma electric conductivity (as formulated by Fisch in the limit of weak dc electric fields) a relation is derived between the ratio of rf to Ohmically dirven currents and other plasma parameters to be measured before and after the rf onset under the condition of constant net plasma current.
