Efficient coupling of lower hybrid (LH) waves in conditions close to those foreseen in ITER has been obtained in advanced scenario plasmas in the JET tokamak. Up to 3 MW of lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) power has been coupled at a distance between the separatrix and the launcher of 11 cm, in the presence of edge localized mode activity. The key to the improved LH wave coupling is local control of the Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL) density through gas injection in the region magnetically connected to the launcher. This increases the electron density in front of the launcher so as to improve the coupling of the LH waves, i.e. reduce the reflected power in the launcher. The average power reflection coefficient was 5.7% with gas injection, at 11 cm distance between the separatrix and the launcher. A change in the gas injection design has made the gas puffing more efficient, making the use of D2 injection possible as an alternative to CD4. At similar injected electrons/s rates, D2 gives higher electron density in the SOL than CD4, resulting in better LH coupling with D2. The possibility of using D2 instead of the earlier used CD4 is an encouraging result in view of ITER operation, as CD4 may not be compatible in ITER due to the problem of tritium retention in deposited carbon layers.

低混成波(LH)の結合が、JETトカマクにおける先進シナリオプラズマ中で、ITERで想定される条件に近い状況下で効率的に達成された。低混成波電流駆動(LHCD)電力は最大3 MWが、セパラトリクスとランチャー間の距離11 cmにおいて、周辺局在モード(ELM)活動の存在下で結合された。LH波結合改善の鍵は、ランチャーに磁気的に接続された領域へのガス注入によるスクレイプオフ層(SOL)密度の局所制御である。これによりランチャー前面の電子密度が増加し、LH波の結合が改善される、すなわちランチャーにおける反射電力が低減される。平均電力反射係数は、ガス注入時において5.7%であった(セパラトリクスとランチャー間の距離11 cm)。ガス注入設計の変更により、ガス噴出がより効率的となり、CD4の代替としてD2注入を使用することが可能となった。同程度の注入電子数/秒(injected electrons/s)において、D2はCD4よりもSOLにおいて高い電子密度を与え、その結果D2を用いた場合の方がLH結合が良好となった。従来使用されていたCD4の代わりにD2を使用する可能性は、堆積炭素層におけるトリチウム保持の問題によりCD4がITERでは適合しない可能性があるため、ITER運転を見据えた場合に有望な結果である。
