Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimates of the localizability of electron-cyclotron heating power are made for the Compact Ignition Tokamak. A particular heating scenario is examined, namely, the fundamental O-mode, injected nearly perpendicular to the toroidal magnetic field. The absorption depth due to finite T{sub e} is very small, about 1 cm, near the q = 2 surface. Absorption is even better localized near q = 1. Several issues that might lead to degraded localizability are reviewed. Use of an intense, pulsed microwave source is the only issue with a possibly significant impact. 3 refs.
