The method is especially suited for strong wave absorption by a low number of resonant ions. This study has been a collaborative effort between EU and US scientists together with contributions from a large number of international institutions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The potential of <strong>the method is demonstrated on<\/strong> the world-largest plasma magnetic confinement device, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euro-fusion.org\/jet\/\"><strong>JET<\/strong><\/a> (Joint European Torus, Culham, UK), and the high-magnetic-field tokamak reactor<a href=\"http:\/\/www.psfc.mit.edu\/research\/topics\/alcator-c-mod-tokamak\"><strong> Alcator C-Mod<\/strong><\/a> (Cambridge, USA).
