Abstract

In preparation for high field side lower hybrid current drive (HFS LHCD) experiments in DIII-D, the HFS LHCD was to be commissioned and physics experiments commence once the system operated up to 300 kW for 0.5 s. The initial physics experiments sought to characterize coupling, wave propagation, and driven current measurements. In HFS LHCD first campaign, the maximum power was limited to
