Abstract

The first experimental campaign of the TJ-II stellarator has been conducted using electron cyclotron resonance heating (, ) with a pulse length of . The flexibility of the device has been used to study five different configurations varying plasma volume and rotational transform. In this paper, the main results of this campaign are presented and, in particular, the influence of plasma-wall interaction phenomena on TJ-II confinement is briefly discussed.
