What Does ECRH Stand For?

ECRH stands for Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating

ECRH, or Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating, is a plasma heating technique that utilizes microwave radiation to heat electrons in a plasma to high temperatures. This method exploits the resonance condition, where the frequency of the microwave is matched to the natural cyclotron frequency of electrons in a magnetic field, allowing for efficient energy transfer. ECRH is commonly employed in fusion research and industrial applications to control and optimize plasma performance.
