Abstract
Profiles of the noninductive current, driven by direct electron absorp tion of fast waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies, have bee n determined for DIII-D tokamak discharges [Luxon et nl., Plasma Physi cs and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research, 1986 (International Atomic Energy Agency Vienna, 1987), Vol. 1, p. 159]; The results clearly indi cate the presence of centrally peaked driven current and validate theo retical models of fast wave current drive.
