Abstract Perkins et al. PRL 2012 [1] reported unexpected power losses during High Harmonic Fast Wave (HHFW) heating and current drive in NSTX. Recently, Tierens et al [2] proposed that these losses may be attributable to surface waves on field-aligned plasma filaments, which carry power along the filaments, to be lost at the endpoints where the filaments intersect the limiters. In this work, we show that there is indeed a resonant loss mechanism associated with the excitation of these surface waves, and derive an analytic expression for the power lost to surface wave modes at each filament.
