Observation of Self-Generated Flows in Tokamak Plasmas with Lower-Hybrid-Driven Current

In Alcator C-Mod discharges lower hybrid waves have been shown to induce a countercurrent change in toroidal rotation of up to 60  km/s in the central region of the plasma (r/a~<0.4). This modification of the toroidal rotation profile develops on a time scale comparable to the current redistribut...
