Abstract
Results are presented from experimental and theoretical studies of the heating of a hydrogen plasma with a lithium admixture at the fundamental ion-cyclotron frequency of hydrogen in the T-11M tokamak. It is found experimentally that the action of RF radiation on a hydrogen plasma containing a small amount (less than 4%) of lithium increases the duration of the discharge current pulse. The effect of the increase in the discharge current pulse under the action of RF radiation is simulated numerically.
