Impact of wave-filament scattering in the scrape-off layer during lower hybrid current drive
Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) is an efficient means to control the current profile in a tokamak. The performance of LHCD is sensitive to the phase-space trajectory of the wave as it propagates and damps in the plasma. These trajectories are scattered by turbulent density fluctuations in the scra...
