Plasma heating through fast waves, from ion cyclotron and high harmonic fast wave (HHFW) resonances up to helicon regime, represents a key topic in the development of a nuclear fusion device.

The NB power-supply system has recently been upgraded to extend the pulse length from 30 ms to 40 ms, which allows for a longer plasma lifetime thus better characterization and further enhancement of FRC performance.

HHFW in FRC configurations requires a hot-plasma approach that can be investigated through the RFP.
First results show that energy deposition is expected to depend
strongly on parallel refractive index.
