Samenvatting

An important test for W7-X is to demonstrate confinement of fast trapped ions at volume averaged beta values up to 5%, corresponding to plasma densities above 10²⁰ m^-3. Energetic ions in W7-X with energies 50 < E < 100 keV mimic alphas in a reactor. To generate such a population is a challenging task in high-density plasmas but this can be efficiently realized with the H-(³He)-D three-ion heating ICRH scenario, foreseen for f ~ 25 MHz in W7-X. An ICRH system is prepared for W7-X, expected to deposit RF powers up to ~1.5 MW (depending on the coupling) at frequencies between 25-38 MHz in pulses up to 10s. A two-strap ICRH antenna for W7-X is under construction. Each strap of the antenna is on one side connected to a tuning capacitor and grounded to the antenna box at the other end. A prematching has been implemented by connecting the RF transmission lines at an intermediate position on each strap. The main dimensions of straps and antenna box have been optimized to maximise the power delivered to the plasma, using the reference plasma density profile in front of the antenna, provided by the W7-X team. A dedicated test stand is under construction to check the main functional tests of the full ICRH antenna system.
