For electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) on burning plasmas in DEMOs a short millimeter wave is launched toward the plasma in the form of oblique O mode. The wave propagates to a target location and deposits its power into suprathermal electrons via a fundamental electron cyclotron (EC) resonance, generating a current. When the profiles of the target plasma are given, the problem is to find appropriate wave frequency , launcher location and launching angles to realize efficient ECCDs at target radii. We address this issue for a JA DEMO plasma as a test case. The angular toroidal wave number keeps constant during wave propagation and the parallel wave number is given by in good approximation. For each pair of and , we calculate the local wave damping rate and current drive efficiency at the fundamental and second EC resonances separately and make mappings of these quantities on the poloidal cross section. Information in these mappings is integrated into one chart. Any wave trajectory can be sorted by a pair of and and a series of integrated charts over and provides an overview of ECCDs in the target plasma. Guided by this overview, we search for appropriate pairs of and , and wave propagation paths to realize efficient ECCDs with negligible power consumption by second harmonic resonance on the way to the target locations at various radii. Thus, we find a number of pairs of and with appropriately adjusted propagation paths to design the wave launching system.

核融合炉DEMOの燃焼プラズマにおいて、電子サイクロトロン電流駆動(ECCD)を効率的に行うために、ミリ波を斜めOモードで入射します。波はプラズマ中を伝搬し、基本波共鳴で電流を生成します。本論文では、JA DEMOプラズマを例に、周波数とトロイダル波数を使って、波の減衰率と電流駆動効率を計算し、ポロイダル断面でのマッピングを統合したチャートを作成しました。このチャートを用いて、目標位置で効率的なECCDを実現する適切な波数と伝搬経路を探索し、第二高調波共鳴による電力消費を無視できる条件を見出しました。これにより、波発射系の設計指針を得ることができます。
