The recent success in coupling lower hybrid (LH) waves in high performance plasmas at JET together with the first demonstration on FTU of the coupling capability of the new passive active multijunction launcher removed major concerns on the possibility of using LH on ITER. LH exhibits the highest experimental current drive (CD) efficiency at low plasma temperature thus making it the natural candidate for off-axis CD on ITER where current profile control will help in maintaining burning performance on a long-time scale. We review recent LH results: long internal transport barrier obtained in JET with current profile sustained and controlled by LH acting under real time feedback together with first LH control of flat q-profile in a hybrid regime with Te ∼ Ti. Minutes long fully non-inductive LH driven discharges on Tore Supra (TS). High CD efficiency with electron cyclotron in synergy with LH obtained in FTU and TS opening the possibility of interesting scenarii on ITER for MHD stabilization. Preliminary results of LH modelling for ITER are also reported. A brief overview of ITER LH system is reported together with some indication of new coming LH experiments, in particular KSTAR where CW klystrons at the foreseen ITER frequency of 5 GHz are being developed.

近年、JETにおける高性能プラズマでの低混成(LH)波結合の成功と、FTUにおける新型受動能動多導波管ランチャーの結合能力の初めての実証により、ITERでのLH使用に関する主要な懸念は解消された。LHは、低温プラズマにおいて最も高い実験電流駆動(CD)効率を示し、長時間スケールでの燃焼性能維持に役立つ電流分布制御が求められるITERのオフ軸CDの有力候補となっている。本稿では、最近のLHに関する成果を概説する。すなわち、実時間フィードバック制御下でのLHによる電流分布の維持・制御によってJETで達成された長時間内部輸送障壁、Te ∼ Tiのハイブリッド領域における平坦なq分布のLHによる初の制御、Tore Supra(TS)での分単位の完全非誘導LH駆動放電、FTUで得られたLHと電子サイクロトロン加熱の相乗効果による高CD効率と、ITERにおけるMHD安定化への興味深いシナリオの可能性、さらにITER向けLHモデリングの予備的結果について述べる。また、ITER用LHシステムの概要と、予定されているITER周波数5 GHzでの連続波クライストロン開発を中心とした今後のLH実験の見通しについても報告する。
