The achievement of steady state operation and long pulse is one of the major challenges in the tokamak plasmas. One of the most effective means to sustain tokamak steady state operation is non-inductive current drive (NICD) by lower hybrid (LH) wave. Lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) as an effective NICD tool has been demonstrated in many tokamaks. LHCD is used to modify the plasma current profile to improve the MHD stability, or used in conjunction with ion Bernstein wave (IBW) to achieve high performance discharge. The achievement of high current drive efficiency is of primary importance since it determines the required power that must be recycled to sustain the plasma current. This new book discusses the lower-hybrid current drive experiences currently being done in regards to HT-7 tokamaks.
