Popis: Electron Bernstein wave heating experiments based on the X-mode to Bernstein mode mode-conversion scenario were performed on the Tokyo Spherical Tokamak -2 (TST-2). Up to 140 kW of microwave power at 8.2 GHz was injected perpendicularly from the low-field side. Evidence of electron heating was observed as increases of the stored energy (by about 15%) and soft X-ray (hν > 1 keV) emission.
