Abstract
Variations of the helicon wave-induced radial plasma transport are presented depending on values of the plasma radius, magnetostatic field, plasma density and the frequency of the helicon wave. It is shown that the value of the helicon wave-induced transport may be significant for plasma confinement; this is demonstrated, for the experiments BASIL and SHEILA. Whereas m = +1 helicons induce an inward-directed transport and thus improve the confinement, m = -1 helicons induce an outward-directed transport velocity.
