Electron Bernstein Wave (EBW) current drive profiles and efficiency for STEP

GENRAY and CQL3D were used to estimate the Electron Bernstein Wave (EBW) current drive profiles and normalised current drive efficiency ζCD (6) for several STEP reactor concepts with varying temperature, density, geometry and magnetic field. ζCD > 1.0 was readily found for ρ = 0.65 − 0.9 while ζC...
