Abstract
Ion cyclotron range of frequency minority heating was investigated in plasmas of the compact helical system (CHS) and the large helical devi ce (LHD) by means of the orbit following Monte Carlo simulation. It wa s found that the heating efficiency decreases with an increase in abso rption power by minority ions and depends strongly on the magnetic fie ld strength and the field configuration.
