Abstract

The dependence of the efficiency of current drive by lower-hybrid waves on the shape and intensity of the wave spectrum is discussed in the case where no d.c. electric field is present. The discussion is based on a simple formula arising from a one-dimensional kinetic treatment of the problem.
