Non-inductive plasma current start-up and sustainment by waves in the lower-hybrid frequency range (200 MHz) have been studied on the TST-2 spherical tokamak (R0 ⩽ 0.38 m, a ⩽ 0.25 m, Bt0 ⩽ 0.3 T, Ip ⩽ 0.14 MA) using three types of antenna: the 11-element inductively-coupled combline antenna, the dielectric loaded 4-waveguide array antenna, and the 13-element capacitively-coupled combline (CCC) antenna. The maximum plasma currents of 15 kA, 10 kA and 16 kA were achieved, respectively. The highest current drive figure of merit was achieved by the CCC antenna. The efficiency of current drive should improve by reducing prompt orbit losses of high energy electrons by operating at higher plasma current (to improve orbit confinement) and higher toroidal magnetic field (to improve wave accessibility to the plasma core), while keeping the density high enough (to avoid excessive acceleration of electrons), but under the 'density limit'.

非誘導プラズマ電流の立ち上げと維持が、TST-2球状トカマク(R0 ⩽ 0.38 m、a ⩽ 0.25 m、Bt0 ⩽ 0.3 T、Ip ⩽ 0.14 MA)において、3種類のアンテナを用いて、低混成周波数帯(200 MHz)の波動により研究された:11素子誘導結合コンブラインアンテナ、誘電体装荷4導波管アレイアンテナ、および13素子容量結合コンブライン(CCC)アンテナである。最大プラズマ電流は、それぞれ15 kA、10 kA、16 kAが達成された。最も高い電流駆動効率はCCCアンテナによって達成された。電流駆動効率は、高エネルギー電子の即時軌道損失を低減することにより改善されるべきであり、そのためには、密度を「密度限界」以下に保ちつつ十分に高く維持しながら(電子の過度な加速を避けるため)、より高いプラズマ電流(軌道閉じ込めを改善するため)およびより高いトロイダル磁場(プラズマ中心部への波動到達性を改善するため)で運転することが必要である。
