【 摘 要 】

Radio-frequency power at 30 MHz has been applied in a variety of situations to National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) plasmas. The response of the plasma is observed in order to study both the physics of High Harmonic Fast Wave (HHFW) heating and as a tool to extend the performance of NSTX plasmas. In this paper we will discuss the progress made to date towards these goals.
