The heating effect can be seen even for high-density over 8 × 1019 m?3: more than twice the cut-off density. The 54.5GHz EC-wave beam is obliquely injected to high-density plasmas. The scanning of the EC-wave beam direction gives the evident increase in the stored energy at the beam direction where the leakage EC-wave power from the CHS vacuum vessel becomes almost the minimum. The most possible cause for this heating mechanism is an electron Bernstein wave heating via an Ordinary ? eXtraordinary ? Bernstein (O-X-B) mode conversion process.}, title = {O-X-B Heating of Overdense Plasmas by 54.5 GHz Electron Cyclotron Waves in CHS}, volume = {Vol.1}, year = {2006} }
