Abstract
ast-wave current drive is demonstrated in the Princeton ACT-I toroidal device. The fast Alfvén wave, in the range of high ion-cyclotron harmonics, produced 40 A of current from 1 kW of rf power coupled into a plasma by a fast-wave loop antenna. This wave excites a steady current by damping on the energetic tail of the electron distribution function in the same way as lower-hybrid current drive, except that fast-wave current drive is appropriate for higher plasma densities.
