Lower hybrid current drive for an intense monochromatic applied field
The intense applied lower hybrid electric fields used to drive current in tokamaks can result in the formation of velocity space island structure. When this happens the lower hybrid current drive efficiency can be calculated for a monochromatic wave and is shown to be below the quasilinear level.
