Abstract

The ion Bernstein waves (IBW) experiments were performed at three transmitted frequencies (24, 27, and 30 MHz) corresponding to three different heating scenarios. IBW heating at 30 MHz produced a strongly increased and peaked density profile. Particle and energy confinement improved, and the averaged electron heat diffusion decreased. In the global heating mode, a peaked electron pressure profile was obtained in the HT-7 tokamak when the ion cyclotron resonance layer was put close to the plasma center.
