dc.descriptionRf plasma production in Whistler waves range of frequency f/fci >1 is applied on the compact helical system (CHS) in a steady state operation with low toroidal magnetic field strength, where f and fci are rf and ion cyclotron frequencies, respectively. Maximum rf power and pulse width are is170kW and 10 msec at 9MHz, respectively. The line averaged plasma density <ne> as high as 2x10^18 m-3 (He plasma) is produced in the region of toroidal magnetic field strength on magnetic axis B=100G~1.5kG and the electron temperature measured at plasma periphery is about 20eV. The wave magnetic field strength measured at the plasma periphery showed the evidence of the toroidal eigen modes of the Whistler waves. The additional long pulse microwave heating of 2.45GHz (>200msec) is applied and it sustains the plasmas while the microwave itself can not ignite plasmas when B<600G.
