# Finally, for large <math>N_{\|}</math> the partial loss of X-mode polarization and the presence of spurious O-mode is expected at the resonance layer. Then, the current induction and power absorption may be sub-obtimal, and a scan on the ellipticity of the beam polarization at its launching position is foreseen in order to correct this effect. 10 discharges needed.

* The discharges should be sufficiently long and the electron collisionality sufficiently high to capture the exponential growth of the induced toroidal plasma current and estimate the asymptotic value of it and the L/R time. Thus, time pulses of 250 ms. are initially planned and densities as high as ECH conditions allow.
