A number of experiments with heating of DT plasmas using ICRF waves have been carried out at JET. The results of these experiments have been analysed by comparing experimentally measured quantities with the results of numerical simulations. In particular, four scenarios have been examined: (a) heating of minority (∼5-20%) deuterons at the fundamental ion cyclotron frequency, ω = ω<sub>cD</sub>; (b) second harmonic heating of tritium, ω = 2ω<sub>cT</sub>; (c) fundamental minority heating of <sup>3</sup>He with a few per cent of <sup>3</sup>He; (d) second harmonic heating of deuterium, ω = 2ω<sub>cD</sub>. An important aim of the analysis was to assess whether the present understanding of the ICRF physics is adequate for predicting the performance of ICRF in DT plasmas. In general, good agreement between experimental results and simulations was found which increases the confidence in predictions of the impact of ICRF heating in future reactors. However, when a relatively high deuterium concentration was used in the ω = ω<sub>cD</sub> scenario, discrepancies were observed. In order to increase confidence in the simulations, the sensitivity of the simulation results to various plasma parameters has been studied. |
