  • Abstract
    The upgraded Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) system at ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) has been routinely used in the last experimental campaign. A further upgrade will replace an existing system of four short-pulse (140 GHz, 2s, 500 kW) gyrotrons. The final goal is to have around 6.5-7 MW at 140 GHz (or 5.5 MW at 105 GHz) from 8 units available in the plasma during the whole AUG discharge (10 s).
