Summary
A numerical code called GARFIELD has been developed to calculate the structure of ICRF electric fields in axisymmetric mirrors. It is being used to investigate ICRF wave structure of central cells of tandem mirror experiments. Fields are solved on a 2-D grid in the axial and radial directions. This permits us to study the effect that axial as well as radial variations of the magnetic field and density have on ICRF wave propagation and absorption. Much of this time frame was spent writing the code and refining the numerics. Initial calculations have been completed for the Phaedrus tandem mirror. These show that there is an evanescent fast wave structure in the radial direction, a standing wave formation in the axial direction, and a small amount of propagating ion cyclotron wave towards a shallow magnetic beach in the center of the mirror.
