Abstract

A mechanism is proposed whereby high phase velocity lower hybrid waves can interact with lower parallel velocity electrons through non-linearly excited plasma waves. Significant steady-state current can be sustained by the r.f. after the ohmic field is turned off in a tokamak provided the initial electron distribution has a substantial runaway tail.
