Investigation of plasma confinement on Soviet tokamaks

  • 1. Gosudarstvennyj Komitet po Ispol'zovaniyu Atomnoj Ehnergii SSSR, Moscow. Inst. Atomnoj Ehnergii

Description

The results of plasma confinement investigations in ohmically and auxiliary heated discharges are presented. The confinement is shown to depend dramatically on the power input profile. The local transport coefficients depend not only on the local plasma parameters but on the profiles of the parameters. The phenomena observed so far can be explained by an effect of at least two instabilities driven by the current and pressure profiles. (author)
