Lower hybrid experiments in the ASDEX tokamak

Interaction of lower hybrid waves at 1.3 GHz with ions and electrons was studied in the density range 0.2-5*1013 cm-3 in the ASDEX tokamak. At high densities, ne>or approximately=4*1013 cm-3, fast ions with mainly perpendicular velocities are produced by the RF power at the plasma periphery. They are not well confined and do not lead to any bulk plasma heating. At lower densities, 2*1013
