Abstract
The collisional drift instability is remotely feedback stabilized by irradiating the plasma with microwaves to heat the electrons locally, by upper-hybrid resonance absorption, at interior plasma locations. The phase and amplitude of the feedback-modulated heating necessary for stabilization agree qualitatively with a linear theory, which includes a feedback-controlled heat source.Keywords
