Abstract
The induced scattering parametric decay instability of O-mode polarized microwaves leading to excitation of lower hybrid or electron plasma waves localized within a tokamak edge transport barrier is investigated. Numerical estimates of the instability threshold and its growth rate for this scenario are given for the conditions of O2-mode ECRH experiments at ASDEX-Upgrade, where experimental investigation of these phenomena is possible.
