System of Electron Cyclotron Heating at the TRT Tokamak

Abstract

Main parameters of the possible system of electron cyclotron resonance heating of the plasma for the compact tokamak with strong magnetic field (TRT) are presented. Preliminary estimates show that, to deposit radiation with calculated power of 10 MW into the plasma at pulse duration of 100 s, 12 1-MW gyrotron complexes will be required that operate at a frequency of 230 GHz. Preliminary calculations of the main components of the system are presented.
