Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (cont.) Phase Contrast Imaging (PCI) has been used to directly detect density fluctuations driven by ICRF waves in the core of the plasma, and mode conversion to an intermediate wavelength Ion Cyclotron Wave has been observed for the first time. The bursty turbulent density fluctuations, observed to drive rapid cross-field particle transport in the edge plasma, appear to play a key role the dynamics of the density limit. Preparations for quasi-steady-state Advanced Tokamak studies with lower hybrid current drive are well underway, and time dependent modeling indicates that regimes with high bootstrap fraction can be produced.
