A dedicated experiment during simultaneous lower hybrid (LH) and ion cyclotron range-of-frequencies (ICRF) operations is carried out to evaluate and understand the effects of ICRF power on the scrape-off-layer (SOL) density profiles and on the resultant LH coupling for a wide range of plasma parameters on Alcator C-Mod. Operation of the LH launcher with the adjacent ICRF antenna significantly degrades LH coupling while operation with the ICRF antenna that is not magnetically connected to the LH launcher minimally affects LH coupling. An X-mode reflectometer system at three poloidal locations adjacent to the LH launcher and a visible video camera imaging the LH launcher are used to measure local SOL density profile and emissivity modifications with the application of LH and LH + ICRF power. These measurements confirm that the density in front of the LH launcher depends strongly on the magnetic field line mapping of the active ICRF antenna. Reflectometer measurements also observe both ICRF-driven and LH-driven poloidal density profile asymmetries, especially a strong density depletion at certain poloidal locations in front of the LH launcher during operation with a magnetically connected ICRF antenna. The results indicate that understanding both LH-driven flows and ICRF sheath driven flows may be necessary to understand the observed density profile modifications and LH coupling results during simultaneous LH + ICRF operation.

下部混合(LH)波とイオンサイクロトロン周波数帯(ICRF)の同時運転中に、専用の実験を実施し、ICRFパワーがスクレイプオフ層(SOL)の密度分布と、その結果としてのLH結合に及ぼす影響を、Alcator C-Modにおける広範なプラズマパラメータにわたって評価・理解した。LHランチャーに隣接するICRFアンテナの運転はLH結合を著しく低下させる一方、LHランチャーと磁気的に結合していないICRFアンテナの運転はLH結合への影響を最小限に抑えた。LHランチャーに隣接する3つのポロイダル位置に設置されたXモード反射計と、LHランチャーを撮像する可視光カメラを用いて、LHパワーおよびLH+ICRFパワー印加時の局所的なSOL密度分布と発光強度の変化を測定した。これらの測定により、LHランチャー前方の密度分布が、動作中のICRFアンテナの磁力線マッピングに強く依存することが確認された。反射計測定では、ICRF駆動およびLH駆動の両方によるポロイダル方向の密度非対称性が観測され、特に磁気的に結合したICRFアンテナの運転中には、LHランチャー前方の特定のポロイダル位置において顕著な密度低下が見られた。これらの結果は、LH+ICRF同時運転中に観測される密度分布の変化とLH結合特性を理解するためには、LH駆動フローとICRFシース駆動フローの両方を考慮する必要があることを示している。
