Experimental investigation of PDI bifurcation of lower hybrid waves during electron density ramp-up in EAST

The effect of parametric decay instability (PDI) on the current drive efficiency of 4.6 GHz lower hybrid (LH) waves in EAST is investigated experimentally, showing the PDI channel bifurcation of LH waves for the first time in EAST. First, experiments with three platforms of LH power were performed,...
