The improvement of potential confinement reported at the last IAEA Fusion Energy Conference in 1998 was attained by axisymmetrization of the heating pattern of ECRH. It was experimentally shown that the axisymmetrization of ECRH actually produced an axisymmetric potential profile. GAMMA 10 experiments on potential confinement have advanced in the direction of longer sustainment and higher density. Experiments to achieve long sustainment of potential confinement were carried out in order to study problems of steady state operation of a tandem mirror reactor. A confining potential was sustained for 150 ms by sequentially injecting two ECRH pulses into the plug region. It had previously been difficult to increase the central cell density to higher than about 2.5 × 1012cm-3 with or without potential confinement, owing to some density limiting mechanism. In order to overcome this problem, a new, higher frequency ICRF system (RF3: 36-76 MHz) has been installed. A higher density plasma has been produced with RF3. In addition to RF3, NBI in the anchor cells was recently made more effective through the reduction of neutral gas from the beam injectors. Potential confinement experiments have advanced to higher central cell densities of up to 4 × 1012 cm-3 with RF3 and NBI. A 35% density increase due to the potential confinement was obtained in the high density experiments.
