The key quantities affecting the efficiency of Lower Hybrid (LH) radiofrequency waves in driving non-inductively the toroidal current in a tokamak have been recognized by means of a linear regression analysis over all the data available for the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade. The parameter space is bounded within the following ranges: line averaged plasma density , central electron temperatures 1.1 ⩽ Te0 ⩽ 7.4 keV, corresponding to volume averaged temperatures 0.27 ⩽ ⟨Te⟩ ⩽ 1.2 keV, plasma current 0.3 ⩽ Ip ⩽ 0.7 MA, magnetic field 4 ⩽ BT0 ⩽ 7.2 T, with a safety factor between 4.7 ⩽ qa ⩽ 10.7, LH power 0.4 ⩽ PLH ⩽ 2.1 MW and LH parallel refraction index 1.32 ⩽ N∥0 ⩽ 2.42. The experimental current drive (CD) efficiency, reduced to the effective ion charge state Zeff = 1, varies for this data set within . A linear regression analysis gives a reliable scaling law for with a correlation coefficient close to 0.9 that points out the importance of the various quantities. The CD efficiency is a significantly increasing function of ⟨Te⟩ and BT, and a decreasing one of qa and PLH, while N∥ and have limited influence. The physical reasons for the observed trend related to the variation of each parameter are recognized and discussed. The main causes are identified in the modification suffered by the N∥ spectrum along the ray trajectory before the power can be absorbed by the electrons and in the interaction with the edge plasma density fluctuations. The analysis also allows putting into evidence the synergy between the LH and electron cyclotron waves, when the latter are absorbed directly on the LH generated suprathermal electron tails and produce the highest values of .

トカマクにおけるトロイダル電流の非誘導駆動に対するLower Hybrid(LH)高周波波の効率に影響を与える主要な量は、Frascati Tokamak Upgradeで利用可能な全データに対する線形回帰分析によって認識された。パラメータ空間は以下の範囲内に限定される:線平均プラズマ密度、中心電子温度1.1 ⩽ Te0 ⩽ 7.4 keV(体積平均温度0.27 ⩽ ⟨Te⟩ ⩽ 1.2 keVに相当)、プラズマ電流0.3 ⩽ Ip ⩽ 0.7 MA、磁場4 ⩽ BT0 ⩽ 7.2 T、安全係数4.7 ⩽ qa ⩽ 10.7、LHパワー0.4 ⩽ PLH ⩽ 2.1 MW、LH平行屈折率1.32 ⩽ N∥0 ⩽ 2.42。実効イオン電荷状態Zeff = 1に換算した実験的な電流駆動(CD)効率は、このデータセットにおいて の範囲で変化する。線形回帰分析により、相関係数が0.9に近い に対する信頼性の高いスケーリング則が得られ、様々な量の重要性が指摘されている。CD効率は⟨Te⟩とBTの有意な増加関数であり、qaとPLHの減少関数である一方、N∥と は限定的な影響しか及ぼさない。各パラメータの変動に関連する観測された傾向の物理的理由が認識され、議論されている。主な原因は、パワーが電子によって吸収される前に光線軌道に沿ってN∥スペクトルが受ける変調と、エッジプラズマ密度揺らぎとの相互作用にあると特定されている。この分析により、LH波と電子サイクロトロン波が、後者がLH生成の超熱電子テールに直接吸収され、 の最高値を生み出す場合の両者間の相乗効果を明らかにすることも可能になる。
