Electron cyclotron (EC) current drive experiments were carried out in lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) plasmas on the WT-3 tokamak. Using oblique injection of EC waves, plasma current is ramped up in a frequency range ω/Ωe ≃ 1.2-1.4, where Ωe is the EC frequency at the plasma centre. This ramp-up is ascribed to selective EC heating of fast electrons in LHCD plasmas via the fundamental EC resonance at the upshifted frequency due to the Doppler effect. Fast electron momentum distributions are estimated from bremsstrahlung hard X ray spectra. These distributions indicate that the parallel momentum input to the fast electrons in the relativistic energy range from oblique EC waves is effective for efficient EC current drive. Current ramp-up is also observed in the second harmonic frequency range ω/ Ωe ≃ 1.9-2.2. In this case, bulk electrons are heated as well as fast electrons and no definite cause of current ramp-up is clarified.

WT-3トカマクにおいて、低ハイブリッド電流駆動(LHCD)プラズマ中で電子サイクロトロン(EC)電流駆動実験を行った。EC波の斜め入射を用いることにより、ω/Ωe ≃ 1.2-1.4の周波数範囲でプラズマ電流が立ち上げられた。ここでΩeはプラズマ中心におけるEC周波数である。この電流立ち上げは、ドップラー効果による周波数アップシフトを伴う基本EC共鳴を介した、LHCDプラズマ中の高速電子の選択的EC加熱に帰属される。高速電子の運動量分布は、制動放射硬X線スペクトルから推定された。これらの分布は、斜め入射EC波から相対論的エネルギー領域の高速電子への平行運動量入力が、効率的なEC電流駆動に有効であることを示している。電流立ち上げは、ω/Ωe ≃ 1.9-2.2の第二高調波周波数範囲でも観測された。この場合、バルク電子と高速電子の両方が加熱され、電流立ち上げの明確な原因は解明されていない。
