Description
Summary:The new compact ICRH antenna (CIA) with low electric field and conjugate-T has been installed in KSTAR. It is essential for studying the effect on the KSTAR plasma of H minority heating as a main ICRH scheme. The TRANSP-TORIC code has been adopted for analyzing the ICRH effect. The calculation using TRANSP-TORIC has been conducted with an additional 1 MW of ICRH power to the KSTAR operation at B 0  = 2.0 T. About 75% of the ICRH power has coupled to the H minority heating, and most of the power of H minority heating has contributed to the energy of D majority ions and electrons. The deposited profile of the minority heating power varies with the concentration rate of the H minority ions and shows the possibility of producing energetic particles which appears to the increasing energy of D majority ions. The power of the H minority heating has good coupling to the majority ions in the broad range of 5
