John Q. Lawson, W. R. Becraft, D. J. Hoffman

Fusion Science and Technology / Volume 4 / Number 2P2 / September 1983 / Pages 647-653

Plasma Heating, Impurity Control, and Fueling / dx.doi.org/10.13182/FST83-A22934

The history of radio-frequency (rf) energy in fusion experiments is reviewed, and the status of current efforts is described. Potential applications to tasks other than plasma heating are described, as are the research and development needs of rf energy technology.
