Abstract
New electron cyclotron emission (ECE) diagnostics has been installed to facilitate the successful experiment of electron cyclotron plasma heating (ECRH) in a large open magnetic trap GDT at Budker Institute. The particularities of ECE in the vicinity of the ECRH frequency were studied experimentally for a broad range of discharge scenarios. The measured thermal emission has partly validated the existing physical conceptions about microwave plasma heating in the machine. Besides the expected emission of thermal electrons, a clearly resolved non-thermal ECE was observed which unambiguously confirmed the presence of suprathermal electrons driven by high-power microwave heating.
