Description of the activity
The goal is to find ECRH launching configurations for which the amplitude of NBI-driven Alfvén Eigenmodes is mitigated. In this particular case we propose to investigate the effect of off-axis ECCD on different plasma locations. To this end, the heating systems set-up shown in figure 1 needs to be explored.
Suppression coupling between NBI-driven AEs and low frequency zonal flows doppler and HIBP measurements.
