Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) – Training Services

Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) – Training Services provides an in-depth exploration of a key plasma heating method used in magnetic confinement fusion devices. The training covers the principles of electron cyclotron resonance, wave–particle interactions, power absorption, and plasma heating efficiency. Participants will explore system design, microwave generation, beam launching, and coupling to the plasma, along with diagnostic techniques to monitor heating performance. The program also emphasizes applications in current drive, stability control, and localized plasma heating in tokamaks and stellarators. Case studies from experimental fusion reactors illustrate practical implementation and optimization strategies. By the end of the course, learners will gain expertise in applying ECRH techniques to enhance plasma performance and confinement.
