The turbulence in the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma of FTU is characterized in order to assess its effect on the current drive efficiency of the lower hybrid (LH) waves. Amplitude, frequency and perpendicular wave vector of the fluctuations are measured for a variety of the main plasma conditions in front of the LH antenna together with the temperature and density in the SOL and used as inputs for the linear scattering theory of the LH waves developed many years ago. This theoretical model can account for both the frequency spectral broadening of the LH pump and the variations of the driven current, inferred by the perpendicular fast electron bremsstrahlung signals. The fraction of the LH power that is then deduced to be effective for current drive appears to be well related to the calculated optical thickness τ of the SOL. It drops as low as 40% as τ increases, consistent with the model prediction. Possible ways to control the SOL optical depth are investigated and a clear relation of the fluctuation level with the collisionality is found.

FTUのスクレイプオフ層(SOL)プラズマにおける乱流は、低混成(LH)波の電流駆動効率への影響を評価するために特徴づけられる。揺動の振幅、周波数、および垂直波数ベクトルは、LHアンテナの前方における様々な主プラズマ条件に対して、SOL内の温度および密度とともに測定され、多年前に開発されたLH波の線形散乱理論の入力として使用される。この理論モデルは、LHポンプの周波数スペクトルの広がりと、垂直方向の高速電子制動放射信号から推測される駆動電流の変動の両方を説明することができる。電流駆動に有効であると推定されるLHパワーの割合は、計算されたSOLの光学的厚さτとよく関連しているように見える。それはτが増加するにつれて40%まで低下し、モデル予測と一致する。SOLの光学的深さを制御する可能な方法が調査され、揺動レベルと衝突度との間に明確な関係が見いだされる。
