Abstract
TJ-II is a four period, low magnetic shear stellarator (R = 1.5 in, a < 0.2 2 in, B-0 less than or equal to 1.2 T) which was designed to have a high de gree of magnetic configuration flexibility. In the most recent experimental campaign, coupling of the full ECRH power (P-ECRH less than or equal to 60 0 kW) to the plasma has been possible using two ECRH transmission lines whi ch have different power densities. Both helium and hydrogen fuelled plasmas have been investigated. The article reviews the latest physics results in particle control, configuration effects, and transport and fluctuation stud ies.
