A plasma current of up to 70 kA has been sustained in WT-3 discharges by second harmonic (2Ωe) electron cyclotron (EC) waves alone, with zero loop voltage, after shutting off the Ohmic heating power. Further, in the case of high power EC wave injection, ramp-up discharges have been obtained. Pulse height analysis of hard X-rays in the line of sight at various angles to the toroidal field shows that the velocity distribution function of the high energy tail electrons is asymmetric in the toroidal direction. The 2Ωe EC wave is mainly absorbed by the tail electrons, and a 2Ωe EC driven current is generated by enhancing the asymmetry of the distribution. The figure of merit of 2Ωe EC current drive (ECCD) is ηEC(2) = (3.2-6.4) × 10−2 (1019 A/W·m2), which is one order of magnitude smaller than that of lower hybrid current drive in WT-3. This low value of ηEC(2) can be attributed to low confinement of the current carrying, high energy tail electrons produced by 2Ωe ECCD.

プラズマ電流は最大70 kAまで、WT-3放電において第二高調波(2Ωe)電子サイクロトロン(EC)波のみによって、オーム加熱電力を遮断した後にループ電圧ゼロで維持された。さらに、高パワーEC波入射の場合には、立ち上げ放電が達成された。トロイダル磁場に対して様々な角度での視線方向における硬X線の波高分析により、高エネルギー尾部電子の速度分布関数がトロイダル方向に非対称であることが示された。2Ωe EC波は主に尾部電子に吸収され、2Ωe EC駆動電流(ECCD)は分布の非対称性を増強することによって生成される。2Ωe ECCDの性能指数はηEC = (3.2-6.4) × 10⁻² (10¹⁹ A/W·m²)であり、これはWT-3における低混成波電流駆動のそれよりも一桁小さい。このηECの低い値は、2Ωe ECCDによって生成される電流担体である高エネルギー尾部電子の閉じ込めが低いことに帰属できる。
