Performances of preliminary ECR current startup
Preliminary result
Plasma current is just spikes ~ hundreds millisecond of bottom width
when the plasma existed during wave injecting from the lightening signal.
The dependence of driven IP on vertical field is consistent with
the toroidal plasma current by vertical field drift effect in ECR plasma.
IP could increase above 10% (Fig. 7) in co-direction,
IP would be counteracted more obviously (Fig.8), in counter-
direction with electrode discharge assistance.
We obtained one special discharge that the currents of plasma and
electrode are cutoff and extended to wave timescale.

Remained questions
Remained questions
This kind of plasma current spike is impossible
to develop to typical ST plasma current.
It is necessary to rearrange launch system of
microwave for better coupling to plasma.

Remained questions
Remained questions
The discharge shown in Fig. 9 suggests that
there is a discharge regime with no limitations of
density cut off on ECR current startup and Ii-sat with
electrode discharge assistance.
The questions are why this regime exists and
how to find it for developing it from occasional event
to reproducible discharge.

Remained questions
Remained questions
In preliminary experiments, the background
pressure of vacuum vessel increased from less
than 110-4 Pascal up to a balanced value, ~ 310-4
Pascal.
Driven plasma current decreased with the
increase of background pressure just like to scan
fuelling gas to higher pressure.
It is necessary to control wall condition for
further experiments.

hard mode save mode
too high J CS,then stress,thermal load in high neutron
moderate J CS, just operating very short time
Impossible to keep ?
