Abstract

In this paper, we present the most recent results obtained during the Alfvenwave Heating experiments being carried out on the TCA Tokamak. We have obtained both significant electron heating and some ion heating using rf powersup to 230 kW, greater than the value of the ohmic heating power in the targetplasma. Firstly, we shall describe the AWH method as applied to TCA and thenbriefly cover some of the low power experiments carried out during the lastyear. The higher power experiments will then be discussed, along with some ofthe problems we have encountered.
