The heat flux of fast electrons to the local limiter in LHCD plasmas in WT-3 has been investigated by thermal measurement of the limiter. The amount of the heat flux (PFE) is found to be about on third of the net radiofrequency power (Prf) injected into the plasma for various discharge conditions. The results combined with other measurements show that the confinement of fast electrons deteriorates as Prf increases. This direct loss of fast electrons is one of the causes of the degradation of the current drive efficiency. Heat transport of the bulk electrons is also found to increase as Prf increases. Experimental results indicate that a significant part of the remaining RF power (2Prf/3) flows to the bulk electrons. The slowing down power of fast electrons in the energy range above several tens of keV is estimated to be quite small compared with 2Prf/3, suggesting that a significant part of the remaining power flows to the bulk electrons via other channels. A plausible channel is the absorption of RF power via lower energy electrons by an upshift of the parallel refractive index of the injected lower hybrid waves. This seems to be another cause of the degradation of the current drive efficiency

WT-3におけるLHCDプラズマ中の高速電子の局所リミッターへの熱流束を、リミッターの熱測定により調査した。熱流束の大きさ(PFE)は、様々な放電条件下でプラズマに注入された正味の高周波電力(Prf)の約3分の1であることがわかった。この結果を他の測定と組み合わせると、Prfの増加に伴って高速電子の閉じ込めが悪化することが示された。この高速電子の直接損失は、電流駆動効率の低下の原因の一つである。バルク電子の熱輸送もPrfの増加に伴って増大することがわかった。実験結果は、残りの高周波電力のかなりの部分(2Prf/3)がバルク電子に流れることを示している。数十keV以上のエネルギー範囲における高速電子の減速パワーは、2Prf/3と比較してかなり小さいと推定され、残りの電力のかなりの部分が他の経路を介してバルク電子に流れることを示唆している。妥当な経路の一つは、入射された下混合波の平行屈折率のアップシフトによる低エネルギー電子を介した高周波電力の吸収である。これも電流駆動効率の低下のもう一つの原因であると思われる。
