Abstract :
A Cyclotron Auto-Resonance Maser (CARM) is under study at the ENEA Research Laboratories in Frascati as a electron cyclotron heating (ECH) source in plasma magnetic confinement devices like Tokamaks. The aim of the project is the realization of a test source at 250 GHz to verify heating mechanisms in high magnetic field Tokamaks and at the second harmonics ECH frequencies for which a higher energy exchange efficiency has been predicted.
