This paper summarizes recent progress in modeling the interaction between ion cyclotron
range of frequency (ICRF) waves and edge plasma with application to ASDEX Upgrade. The …

The first direct experimental measurements of the scattering of a millimeter-wave beam by
plasma blobs in a simple magnetized torus are reported. The wavelength of the beam is …

Plasma turbulence, and edge density fluctuations in particular, can under certain conditions
broaden the cross-section of injected microwave beams significantly. This can be a severe …

The scattering of waves in the ion cyclotron range by plasma density perturbations in the
edge has been previously studied by Zhang et al with the help of antenna code …

Turbulence-induced refraction effects to lower hybrid (LH) wave propagation and current
drive are studied using synthetic scrape-off layer (SOL) blob/filament fields. A synthetic 3D …

Recently, an analytical solution for plane wave scattering at density filaments in magnetized
plasma was derived [AK Ram and K. Hizanidis, Phys. Plasmas 23, 022504 (2016)], from …

Radio frequency (RF) waves are routinely used in tokamak fusion plasmas for plasma
heating, current control, as well as in diagnostics. These waves are excited by antenna …

The effects of synthetic turbulence on lower hybrid (LH) wave field magnitude and
polarization are studied on Alcator C-Mod. Three synthetic turbulence models are evaluated …

Electron–cyclotron waves are a tool commonly used in tokamaks, in particular to drive
current. Their ability to drive current in a very localized manner renders them an optimal tool …

When radio-frequency waves propagate through magnetized plasmas, they scatter at
density filaments, which are usually aligned with the magnetic field lines. We show that this …
