Scientific paper

A new 4-strap single-ended ICRF antenna has been added to the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. PPPL designed, fabricated, and tested the antenna up to 45 kV on an rf test stand. It is capable of symmetric phasing for ICRF heating studies, and asymmetric phasing with an improved directed wave spectrum for current drive. Two new 2 MW transmitters, tunable from 40-80 MHz, allow operation in plasma at 43, 60, and 78 MHz to match a variety of toroidal fields and plasma conditions. This addition increases the total available ICRF power to 4 MW at 80 MHz plus 4 MW at 40-80 MHz. Plasma heating and current drive experiments at the extended power levels and new frequencies are planned, and initial system performance will be discussed.
