Abstract

AbstractOn WEGA stellarator electron Bernstein waves have been applied for plasma heating. The excitation of the electrostatic Bernstein waves was possible due to an efficient two‐step OXB mode conversion process from electromagnetic waves. Overdense plasma operation was reached in argon and helium and, rather surprisingly, a supra‐thermal electron component could be detected (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
