Feasibility of ICRF Wave Heating in Deuterium-Tritium Tokamak Plasmas

A scenario for ion cyclotron range of frequency wave injection from a top launcher is proposed for heating thermal deuterium ions. The dataset, authored by researchers including Lee, Jungpyo and Bertelli, Nicola, was last updated on June 1, 2026. It describes a method positioned between the tritium cyclotron layer and ion-ion hybrid layer for scalable power transfer.

Use Cases

• Modeling wave penetration and power absorption based on the described top launcher geometry.
• Simulating ion temperature effects on damping efficiency based on the 5-20 keV range mentioned.
• Comparing scalability of ICRF heating to neutral beam injection for different machine sizes.
• Analyzing the impact of low toroidal mode numbers on wave polarization and damping.

Strengths

• Authored by a team of recognized fusion researchers from the Plasma Science and Fusion Center.
• Describes a specific ion temperature range of 5-20 keV favorable for the heating scenario.
• Last metadata update was on 2026-06-01, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description is technical but lacks concrete data structure details.
