2 Planned system parameters: power: 4 MW, provided by 4 gyrotrons pulse length: 10 sec frequency: 105 / 140 GHz as a 2-f-gyrotron 105 to 140 GHz as a step tunable gyrotron launcher: feedback controled deposition physics aims: heating and current drive, in particular for studies of advanced tokamak regime suppression of tearing modes control of transport and pressure profile The project is supported in part by Helmholtz Gemeinschaft HGF via a cooperation between IPP, FZK and FZJ

7 Gyrotron hall HE-11 lines MOU box Gyrotron socket basement: high voltage area

8 Electron beam radii and caustics for operating modes (Zapevalov et al.) Calculated field amplitude patterns at the gyrotron window 80mm a.) f=111.6 GHz, Gaussian mode content η G =95% b.) f=140 GHz, η G =96% We will choose 4 frequencies as our main operating modes

9 Measured beam at the output window (Zapevalov et al.) For each frequency the beam leaves the gyrotron in a slightly different direction This has to be corrected in the first two mirrors of the matching optics unit

10 Matching optics unit: - two phase correcting mirrrors, the second one with integrated directional coupler (one pair of mirrors for each frequency) - two broad band polariser mirrors - mirror for coupling into the HE11-line - switchable mirror for coupling into the central 1 MW / 10 sec load - switchable mirror for coupling into a 1 MW / 0.5 sec calorimeter load The mirrors are made of 40 mm thick copper without forced cooling
