5 Garching, 20/3 2009EFDA Fuelling Meeting Prediction of coupling for an ITER-like LH launcher (PAM) J.Hillairet (CEA) & O.Meneghini (MIT) LH coupling codes ALOHA (CEA) and TOPLHA (Politecnico di Torino) have been cross-checked for different types of LH launchers. Good agreement between the codes  tools for predicting LH coupling for an ITER LH launcher. f = 3.7GHz n cut-off nene PAM on FTU In ITER, f = 5GHz  n cut-off = 3.1*10 17 m -3 Poor coupling for n e below ~ 1*10 17 m -3 V.

17 Garching, 20/3 2009EFDA Fuelling Meeting  Experiments on JET, and ASDEX, indicate that LH coupling improvement with gas injection is a local effect. For the same central density, different gas injection location gives different LH coupling.  Experiments also show that LH coupling also depends on the wall conditions and on the LH power (TS, JT-60U, JET).  The LH power seems to plays a role in the ionisation process. Possible mechanism is through the fraction of LH power (~1%) which is lost at the plasma edge and known to cause electron acceleration and hot spots.  In order to guarantee the LH coupling in ITER in all conditions, a dedicated local gas feed seems necessary.  However, poor knowledge of ITER SOL parameters and poor level of modelling of existing experiments, make it difficult to optimise the design (toroidal and raidal location).  Diagnostics for the far SOL are crucial in the experiments (neutral density, electron density and temperature profiles) and the modelling needs to be improved…   …Next talk Summary
