Abstract
The possibility of suppressing low-power-threshold parametric decay instabilities excited at plasma auxiliary heating with an extraordinary wave at the second harmonic of the electron cyclotron resonance and reducing the anomalous absorption associated with this instability is considered. It is theoretically demonstrated that increasing the microwave pump beam width and its power allows reducing the related anomalous absorption rate.
