High-beta, hot-electron plasmas have been produced by electron-cyclotron heating in the SM-1 axisymmetric mirror using closely-spaced multiple frequencies. The relativistic electrons produce annular distributions (ELMO rings) with as much as ten times more stored energy than with single-frequency heating. While larger frequency separations (Δf/f∼0.1) provide some control of the ring size, the dominant effects are associated with an improvement in heating efficiency which persists to very small frequency separations (Δf/f∼10-3). Details of the reconstruction of the ring distribution (both in steady state and during build-up), the influence of multiple frequency heating on fluctuations, axial electron losses, and a scaling of these effects with power are presented.
