Abstract
The possibility of heating a Tokamak plasma with the help of a compression wave induced in the plasma by a wave guide system is considered. The frequency of the wave is a high harmonic of the ion cyclotron frequency. Plasma heating cannot occur through linear resonant mechanisms. Heating due to the non-linear amplification of ion Bernstein modes is studied, taking into account the existence of the magnetic surfaces and the non-uniformity of the static field. The value of the wave field which is necessary to obtain effective plasma heating is calculated.
