Parametric Instabilities During High Power Helicon Wave Injection on DIII-D

High power helicon (whistler) waves at a frequency of 0.47 GHz are being considered for efficient off-axis current generation in high performance DIII-D plasmas and in K-Star [3]. The need for deploying helicon waves for current profile control has been noted in previous publications since penetrati...
