Interaction of lower hybrid waves with turbulent tokamak plasma

Processes of resonance interaction of lower hybrid waves with low-frequency oscillations excited in the plasma by longitudinal current and inhomogeneity are discussed. It is shown that the existence of a low-frequency turbulence in a tokamak plasma may appreciably reduce the attenuation length of lower hybrid waves owing to decay processes. The existence of drift oscillations in the plasma must lead to blocking and subsequent accumulation of lower hybrid waves on the periphery of the plasma column.
