Abstract
The current status of ICRF experiments is reviewed with emphasis on high-power heating results in tokamaks. The rationale for the use of the fast magnetosonic wave is described along with simplified models for the wave coupling and power absorption. Experimental results are presented which confirm the essential features of the theoretical model and suggest a highly favorable prognosis for scaling the heating process to a reactor.Keywords
