LHCD during current ramp experiments on Alcator C-Mod
The lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) system on Alcator C-Mod is capable of sustaining fully non-inductive discharges for multiple current relaxation times (τ cr ∼ 200 ms) at line averaged densities in the range of 5x10 19 m -3 . Some of these non-inductive discharges develop unstable MHD modes that...
