摘要：

Parametric decay instabilities (PDIs) in lower hybrid (LH) frequency range were observed in TST-2 in a various parameter range. LH wave measurement has been performed using four RF magnetic probes. We have been studied experiments aiming at efficient non-inductive current drive with the outboard and the top antennas installed on the outboard side and the top side of the vacuum vessel, respectively. Since PDIs are believed to deteriorate the current drive efficiency, we investigated conditions to avoid them. Operations with various combination of antennas (outboard, top), toroidal magnetic field strength and direction (CW, CCW B-T), working gas (hydrogen, deuterium) and density (normal, high) were investigated. In the outboard launch case, PDI sideband frequency delta f associated with ion cyclotron quasi-modes was observed with large degree in any B-T strength in both hydrogen and deuterium plasma. On the other hand, no clear such sideband delta f peak was observed only in deuterium plasma with the top launch case. Among various scenarios, the top launch with CW and CCW toroidal field in deuterium plasma seems to be desirable in terms of avoiding PDIs.
