heal.abstract	New experimental evidence for the stabilizing effect of the superthermal electrons [A. Lazaros, Phys. Plasmas 6, 148 (1999)], which are produced through the avalanche effect [A. Lazaros, Phys. Plasmas 8, 1263 (2001)] during electron cyclotron resonant heating (ECRH), is provided by the suppression of the "fishbone" mode with ECRH in the "compact helical system" [S. Okamura , Nucl. Fusion 39, 1337 (1999)], in an experimental arrangement which favors the development of a superthermal electron avalanche and excludes any other stabilizing effect. The significance of the radial location of the EC resonance and the electron density, for the development of the superthermal electron avalanche, is confirmed by radial scans of the EC resonance and by density scans.
