Such a scheme, not yet demonstrated at electron density higher than the critical one (2.4·1020m−3) for the 140 GHz ordinary mode, and consequently at such a high frequency, exploits the conversion of an ordinary polarized wave (O) into the extraordinary (X) one, followed by a subsequent conversion to Bernstein (B) waves, which are then absorbed by the plasma. In the specific case of FTU the overall efficiency of this scheme is mainly determined by the coupling efficiency between the O- and the X-wave, which can occur only for ordinary polarized radiation propagating in a very narrow angular range at the cutoff region.","PeriodicalId":393592,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE/NPSS 24th Symposium on Fusion Engineering","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115660723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To meet the ELM and VS Coil requirements strong coupling with the plasma is required so that it is necessary for the coils to be installed in the vessel just behind the blanket shield modules. Due to this close proximity to the plasma the radiation and temperature environment is severe and conventional electrical insulation materials and processes cannot be used. The development of mineral insulated conductor technology has been required in the IVC design to deal with this high radiation and high temperature environment. While mineral insulated conductor technology is not new, building a large magnet with high current carrying capability and a conductor diameter larger than the mineral insulated conductor currently manufactured requires R&D and the extension of existing technologies. A 59mm Stainless Steel Jacketed Mineral Insulated Conductor (SSMIC) using MgO is being developed for this application. The IVC ELM and VS coils design includes both the development of the fabrication techniques for the SSMIC and the design and analysis of the ELM and VS Coil assemblies.","PeriodicalId":393592,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE/NPSS 24th Symposium on Fusion Engineering","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114825130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The same system would also be used in Tokamak Aditya to carry out second harmonic ECRH assisted breakdown experiments at 0.75T operation. The Gyrotron capable to deliver 500kW power would be installed such that it will deliver power to both the tokamaks without dismantling any component. It will be achieved by using two waveguide switches in the transmission line. First switch will divert power either to dummy load for Gyrotron testing or to launch power in the tokamaks. The second switch will give the option to transmit power either to tokamak Aditya or SST1. Approximately 50-meter long transmission line will be used to transmit power from Gyrotron to each tokamak. The transmission line consists of a matching optic unit, DC break, mitre-bends, polarizer, 63.5mm ID circular corrugated waveguide and bellows.
