At TJ-II, NBI heated plasmas show differences that depend on the injection direction, co- or counter-injection (NBI1 or NBI2, respectively). Whereas the evolution of the electron temperature and density profiles are alike in the two heating schemes, the radial electric field and density turbulence profiles evolve differently, ending up in a higher density limit and higher energy content in plasmas heated with counter-NBI (NBI2).

The experimental characterization of the beams indicates that both present similar re-ionization losses and transmission [1], while NBI heating simulations performed using ASCOT [2] show more direct ion losses using co-NBI heating and better efficiency using counter-NBI for the same plasma profiles.
Previous experiments indicate that the differences become more noticeable as the heating power increases.
In this proposal we would like to proceed with the co- vs. counter-NBI comparison aiming at the identification of the relevant physical mechanisms responsible for the experimental observations.
