Abstract
This paper summarizes previous results and presents new studies on the ICRF plasma creation both in pure gases and gas mixtures. In all the experiments, the two-strap antenna was operated in monopole phasing with applied RF power of ∼100 kW. The research for plasma creation was carried out at RF frequencies near the fundamental hydrogen cyclotron harmonic.
