Abstract

Electron cyclotron heating (ECH) is one of the most common methods used for heating stellarator plasmas, providing both ionization for startup and net-current free heating during the discharge. This paper presents the design of the ECH heating system for the Stellarator of Costa Rica (SCR-1), a small modular stellarator under construction at the Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica (ITCR). The SCR-1 is a small (Major radius 0.238 m, mean plasma radius 0.042 m) low budget device, using a 2 period magnetic field with flat rotational transform profile (ι=0.3), a resonant strength of 8.78×10^-2 T and expected to achieve a 15 eV temperature with an electron line density of 3.74×10¹⁵ m^-3.
