The possibility of controlling the transport processes in the tokamak plasma in the lower hybrid heating (LHH) experiment has been demonstrated. We illustrate experimentally the observed transport barrier formation initialized by the LHH for different plasma experiment scenarios. First, it was found during LHH. The next method to trigger improved confinement is a combination of fast current ramp-up with LHH. The mechanisms of internal barrier formation have been put forward to explain the observed regime of improved core confinement. The increased shear of the radial electric field stimulates the internal barrier formation.
