V. Petrzilka, VARIATIONS OF HELICON WAVE-INDUCED RADIAL PLASMA TRANSPORT IN DIFFERENT EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS, Australian journal of physics, 47(3), 1994, pp. 315-327
Variations of the helicon wave-induced radial plasma transport are pre
sented 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 fo
r plasma confinement; this is demonstrated for the experiments BASIL a
nd SHEILA. Whereas m = +1 helicons induce an inward-directed transport
and thus improve the confinement, m = -1 helicons induce an outward-d
irected transport velocity.
