A new ITER-relevant lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) launcher, based on the passive-active-multijunction (PAM) concept, was brought into operation on the Tore Supra tokamak in autumn 2009. The PAM launcher concept was designed in view of ITER to allow efficient cooling of the waveguides, as required for long pulse operation. In addition, it offers low power reflection close to the cut-off density, which is very attractive for ITER, where the large distance between the plasma and the wall may bring the density in front of the launcher to low values. The first experimental campaign on Tore Supra has shown extremely encouraging results in terms of reflected power level and power handling. Power reflection coefficient <2% is obtained at low density in front of the launcher, i.e. close to the cut-off density, and very good agreement between the experimental results and the coupling code predictions is obtained. Long pulse operation at ITER-relevant power density has been demonstrated. The maximum power and energy reached so far is 2.7 MW during 78 s, corresponding to a power density of 25 MW m−2, i.e. its design value at f = 3.7 GHz. In addition, 2.7 MW has been coupled at a plasma–launcher distance of 10 cm, with a power reflection coefficient <2%. Finally, full non-inductive discharges have been sustained for 50 s with the PAM.

新しいITER関連の低混成波電流駆動(LHCD)ランチャーは、受動-能動マルチジャンクション(PAM)概念に基づき、2009年秋にTore Supraトカマクで運転を開始した。PAMランチャー概念は、長パルス運転に要求される導波管の効率的な冷却を可能にするため、ITERを視野に入れて設計された。さらに、この概念はカットオフ密度付近での低い電力反射を実現し、プラズマと壁の間の距離が大きいためにランチャー前面の密度が低い値に低下し得るITERにとって非常に魅力的である。Tore Supraでの最初の実験キャンペーンは、反射電力と電力負荷容量の観点から極めて有望な結果を示した。ランチャー前面の低密度、すなわちカットオフ密度に近い条件において、電力反射係数<2%が得られ、実験結果と結合コードによる予測の間に非常に良い一致が見られた。ITER関連の電力密度での長パルス運転が実証された。これまでに達成された最大電力とエネルギーは、78秒間で2.7MWであり、これは周波数3.7GHzにおける設計値25MW m⁻²の電力密度に相当する。さらに、プラズマ-ランチャー間距離10cmにおいて、電力反射係数<2%で2.7MWの結合が達成された。最後に、PAMを用いて完全な非誘導放電が50秒間維持された。
