140 GHz high-power gyrotron development for the stellarator W7-X

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge

Electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) has proven to be one of the most attractive heating schemes for stellarators. Therefore, ECRH was chosen to be the main heating method for the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator (W7-X) now under construction at IPP Grei ...
