Non inductive formation of an extremely overdense spherical Tokamak by electron Bernstein wave heating and current drive on LATE

An extremely overdense special Tokamak plasma has been non-inductively formed and maintained by electron Bernstein (EB) wave heating and current drive in the Low Aspect ratio Torus Experiment (LATE) device. The plasma current reaches 12 kA and the line-averaged electron density exceeds 7 times the...
