LH Wave Coupling and ICRF Sheaths at JET

LHCD coupling deteriorates when the system is pulsed with ICRF antennas magnetically connected to the launcher. This has been attributed to the density modifications by the RF sheaths. RCs dependencies are investigated and shown consistent with the sheath physics. Near launcher gas puff has been used to reduce the RCs and LHCD power trips. Statistical analysis of the data is summarised and the undertaken modelling activities are outlined.
