Abstract
On WEGA stellarator electron Bernstein waves have been applied for plasma heating. The excitation of the electrostatic Bernstein waves was possible due to an efficient twoβstep OXB mode conversion process from electromagnetic waves. Overdense plasma operation was reached in argon and helium and, rather surprisingly, a supraβthermal electron component could be detected (Β© 2010 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract An experiment to investigate the source of plasma equilibrium of the residual plasma at zero cross over of plasma current is presented. The role of limiter in providing this equilibrium by short circuiting the electric field developed due to the toroidal drifts is examined by measuring
