Lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) efficiency is a very important parameter. The experimental current drive efficiency is defined as η = IrfneR/PLH, where Irf is the current driven by the lower hybrid waves (LHWs), ne is the central line-average density, R is the major radius of the plasma and PLH is the injected LH wave power absorbed by the plasma through Landau damping. A study of current drive efficiency of LHWs in the HT-7 tokamak has been carried out in the parameter ranges: ne = (1.2–2.5) × 1019 m−3, Ip = (80–200) kA, Bt = 1.8 T, PLH = (188–532) kW in the limiter configuration. Current drive efficiency is investigated through a simple correlation with photon temperature and normalized intensity of fast electron bremstrahlung emission, which is, in the first approximation, proportional to the averaged velocity and population of the fast electrons. The plasma current scanning experiment shows that CD efficiency increase is due to the increase in both the photon temperature and the population of the fast electrons generated by LHWs. The density scanning experiment shows that as the plasma density is increased, an increment in CD efficiency along with the increase in the population of fast electrons is observed. The slowing down through the collisions with bulk electrons is mainly responsible for the decreased photon temperature during the plasma density scan. These experiments strongly suggest the dominant role of the population of fast electrons generated by LHCD and the generation of the current carried by fast electrons.

低域混成波電流駆動(LHCD)効率は非常に重要なパラメータである。実験的な電流駆動効率はη = IrfneR/PLHと定義される。ここで、Irfは低域混成波(LHW)によって駆動される電流、neは中心線平均密度、Rはプラズマの主半径、PLHはランダウ減衰によってプラズマに吸収される入射LHWパワーである。HT-7トカマクにおけるLHWの電流駆動効率の研究は、リミター配位において、ne = (1.2–2.5) × 10^19 m^-3、Ip = (80–200) kA、Bt = 1.8 T、PLH = (188–532) kWのパラメータ範囲で実施された。電流駆動効率は、高速電子の制動放射の光子温度および規格化強度との単純な相関関係を通じて調査される。これらは、第一近似として、高速電子の平均速度および個数密度に比例する。プラズマ電流走査実験は、CD効率の増加が、LHWによって生成された高速電子の光子温度と個数密度の両方の増加によるものであることを示している。密度走査実験は、プラズマ密度が増加するにつれて、高速電子の個数密度の増加に伴ってCD効率が増加することを示している。バルク電子との衝突による減速が、プラズマ密度走査中の光子温度の低下に主に寄与している。これらの実験は、LHCDによって生成された高速電子の個数密度と、高速電子によって担われる電流の生成が支配的な役割を果たすことを強く示唆している。
