What Does ICRH Stand For?

ICRH stands for Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating

Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH) is a plasma heating technique utilized in fusion research and space physics. It involves the application of high-frequency electromagnetic waves at specific frequencies that resonate with the ion cyclotron frequency of charged particles in the plasma. This resonance induces energy transfer, leading to increased ion temperatures and improved plasma performance. ICRH is an essential tool for maintaining stable and efficient fusion reactions in experimental devices such as tokamaks, contributing to advancements in achieving controlled nuclear fusion.
