The role of rectified currents in far-field RF sheaths and in SOL losses of HHFW power on NSTX
Radio-frequency (RF) rectification is an important sheath phenomenon for wave heating of plasma in fusion devices and is proposed napoleon concealer to be the mechanism responsible for converting high-harmonic fast-wave (HHFW) power in the National Spherical Torus eXperiment (NSTX) into a heat flux to the divertor.RF rectification has two aspects:
