Plasma supports a rich variety of waves, spanning a wide range in frequency & wavelength. Laboratory plasmas are bounded systems in which the effects of dielectric or conducting boundary on various characteristics of the plasma are studied. Owing to the ability of high plasma density production and efficient nonresonant plasma current drive in EMHD regime along with other advantageous consequential factors, Helicon wave is presented as a source of RF current drive. The investigation of helicity in the dynamo field components of helicon wave during the wave induced helicity current drive has...

This book discusses the versatility of inductive sources of plasma as an advanced enabling tool for various applications in the field of Nuclear Fusion. Inductive sources of discharge have found various applications in basic plasma laboratory experiments and industrial applications. An objective of this work is to introduce some innovative applications of such celebrated sources of plasma generation directly into the field of Nuclear Fusion. An extensive discussion on the experimental results of application of Inductive sources operated in Ion Cyclotron range of Radio Frequency (ICRF) in...
