Measurements in the tokamak scrape-off layer show the existence of fast electrons as far as a few centimeters radially in front of a lower hybrid antenna grill, which is one order of magnitude further than earlier predictions of interaction zones not exceeding 5 mm in width (Rantamäki et al 2000 Nucl. Fusion40 1477). The present contribution aims at understanding these experimental results on the basis of electron Landau damping in a turbulent scrape-off layer. A crucial guiding element from the experiments is the observation of temporal intermittency of the fast electron signal at positions radially away from the grill mouth at a rate comparable with the detachment rate of relatively hot and dense field-aligned plasma filaments, or 'blobs,' from the last closed flux surface. When the dynamic character of the scrape-off layer is taken into account, transient low density and low temperature states occur during which the Landau damping can be weak enough to allow the radiated spectrum to penetrate radially deep inward. When the lower hybrid wave intercepts a dense and hot 'blob' a few cm in front of the antenna, then strong damping of the high wave number components can occur. This is the scenario we propose for explaining the generation of fast electrons far away from the grill mouth.

トカマクのスクレイプオフ層における測定は、低域混成アンテナグリルの半径方向前方数センチメートルまで高速電子が存在することを示しており、これは相互作用領域が5 mmを超えないという従来の予測(Rantamäki et al 2000 Nucl. Fusion40 1477)よりも一桁以上遠い。本稿の貢献は、乱流的なスクレイプオフ層における電子ランダウ減衰に基づいて、これらの実験結果を理解することを目的とする。実験からの重要な指針となる要素は、グリル口から半径方向に離れた位置での高速電子信号の時間的間欠性の観測であり、その頻度は、最後の閉磁気面からの比較的高温で高密度の磁場に沿ったプラズマフィラメント、すなわち「ブロブ」の剥離率に匹敵する。スクレイプオフ層の動的性質を考慮すると、過渡的な低密度・低温状態が発生し、その間ランダウ減衰が十分に弱くなり、放射されたスペクトルが半径方向深くまで浸透することが可能となる。低域混成波がアンテナの数センチメートル前方の高密度で高温の「ブロブ」に遭遇すると、高波数成分の強い減衰が生じ得る。これが、グリル口から遠く離れた場所での高速電子の生成を説明するために我々が提案するシナリオである。
