ICRF plasma production in gas mixtures in the Uragan-2M stellarator

This paper summarizes previous results and presents new studies on the ICRF plasma creation both in pure gases and gas mixtures. In all the experiments, the two-strap antenna was operated in monopole phasing with applied RF power of similar to 100 kW. The research for plasma creation was carried out at RF frequencies near the fundamental hydrogen cyclotron harmonic.

This paper summarizes previous research findings and introduces new studies on ICRF plasma creation in both pure gases and gas mixtures. In all experiments, the two-strap antenna operated in monopole phasing with an applied RF power of around 100 kW. The research on plasma creation was conducted at RF frequencies close to the fundamental hydrogen cyclotron harmonic.
