Extending the Break-in-Slope Analysis to Indirect Heating Regimes in Tokamaks
The so called Break-In-Slope analysis (BIS) is a very simple, although powerful, data analysis technique that is widely used to determine the power absorption profiles of the plasma particles during auxiliary heating experiments in tokamaks, such as Radio-Frequency (RF) or Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) heating experiments. It is based on the study of the energy response of the particles to sudden changes in the external power supplied to the plasma.
