  • Abstract
    A helical wave launching structure is analyzed to determine the spectrum of Alfvén waves that it can excite. Using an ideal MHD plasma model, the effectiveness of this helical coil for producing Alfvén wave heating in the Proto-Cleo stellarator is investigated. It is found that significant energy absorption should occur. The amount of absorption and the frequency range over which it is greatest are dependent on the shape of the radial profiles of the confining magnetic field and the plasma density.
