The interaction of lower hybrid waves with a toroidal plasma is expected to develop high-energy tails in the electron distribution function. In the present paper a ray-tracing emission code for electron cyclotron waves is employed to study the possibilities, offered by the measurements of their emission and/or absorption, of obtaining different kinds of information about such distribution functions.
