Ion cyclotron heating (ICH) has been chosen as the primary method for providing auxiliary heating power to the plasma in the Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT). Sustained progress in ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) heating experiments, together with supporting technology development, continues to justify selection of this technique as the preferred one for heating CIT to ignition. However, the CIT requirements are sufficiently different from existing achievements that continued experimentation and development are needed to meet the goals of the CIT experiment with a high degree of reliability. The purpose of this report is fourfold: (1) to review briefly the physics and technology research and development (R and D) needs for ICH on CIT, (2) to review the status of and planned programs for ICH on US and international machines, (3) to propose a unified ''mainline'' R and D program specifically geared to testing components for CIT, and (4) to assess the needs for experiments including C-Mod, the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR), and DIII-D to provide earlier information and improved probability of success for CIT ICH. 4 refs., 4 figs., 5 tabs.
