Observations of Lower Hybrid Wave Absorption in the Scrape Off Layer of a Diverted Tokamak

The Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) system on Alcator C-Mod is designed to drive off-axis current in the core plasma, e.g. r/a<=0.8, however several interesting observations indicate that the LH waves are depositing significant power in the Scrape Off Layer (SOL) in high density L-Mode discharg...
