• A key element of the CIMES project
More SS LHCD power at 3.7GHz
Improved domain of long pulse operation for Tore Supra: higher density and plasma current
Physics of SS plasmas and technology test of PAM concept
• The PAM is the present prefered solution for ITER LHCD (coupling issues, protection of the power source (low reflected power))
Motivations for a new LHCD Launcher
The PAM is presently the heaviest object on a Tore Supra port (~8 tons)

Hard-X rays during SMBI
HXR takes finite time to respond, scales typically as slowing down time.
HXR emission seems to follow bulk density recovery profile (slow response).

This task is focussed on the design activity and will be divided in the following subtasks: Definition of a development work plan. Physics modeling to ensure physics requirement for LH
H&CD.Conceptual design analysis.Definition of the R&D associated with the previous work
plan.Design process and drawings
The task will cover ~4 ppys over 2009/10.The task issuing has been delayed due to the sudden
