Abstract:
New information on the development of Alfvén modes in the Globus-M2 spherical tokamak is presented. The data were obtained using a V-band Doppler reflectometer with probing radiation frequencies from 50 to 75 GHz. A microwave harmonic synthesizer was used as a multifrequency probing source. As a result of using a new reflectometer, the localization of the toroidal Alfvén eigenmode has been determined at a magnetic field of 0.5 T. The spectral components of the Alfvén mode with Doppler frequency shifts due to toroidal plasma rotation have been recorded. The so-called Alfvén cascades have been investigated in the central regions of the discharge.
