One of the methods for damping the instabilities is to feed the plasma in two frequency heating mode. Since the fundamental physical mechanism is still unclear (diffusion in velocity space? additional confinement?), a deeper experimental investigation is necessary, using multi-diagnostics setups. At ATOMKI-Debrecen the effect on the plasma instabilities of an argon plasma in a 'Two Close Frequencies' scheme has been explored. Spectra of radio-emission from the plasma have been collected for different frequency gaps and relative power balances. The measurements show the plasma self-emitted radiation comes out from the internal plasma (i.e. around the lower frequency) but the instability damping can be effective for some specific combinations of frequency-gap and power balance. Radiofrequency spectra have been collected simultaneously to time-resolved X-ray measurements, triggered by RF bursts produced by the instabilities and detected via a microwave diode connected to a plasma-chamber-immersed multi-pin RF probe.
