Modification of electrical conductivity in T–10 by electron cyclotron heating

Abstract
The CQL3D Fokker‐Planck code is used to investigate effects of quasilinear distortion of the electron tail in the T–10 second harmonic electron cyclotron current (ECCD) drive experiment. The experiment operates in a regime of substantial tail formation. Current drive efficiency may be doubled relative to low power cases. That portion of electric field‐driven current which is synergetic with the rf‐induced nonthermal tail may tend to cancel the ECCD current in relevant cases.
