Investigation of RF-enhanced plasma potentials on Alcator C-Mod

Radio frequency (RF) sheath rectification is a leading mechanism suspected of causing anomalously high erosion of plasma facing materials in RF-heated plasmas on Alcator C-Mod. An extensive experimental survey of the plasma potential (Φ[subscript P]) in RF-heated discharges on C-Mod reveals that sig...
