Description
The luminous region of the plasma cloud surrounding deuterium pellets injected into a tokamak is studied spectroscopically. At the time of peak luminosity the electron density is 2.4 x 1017 cm-3 to within 30% and the temperature is at most 2.0 eV. The intensity ratio of the Balmer-alpha and -beta light from the pellets, the total number of emitted photons, and the apparent size of the radiating region are consistent with local thermodynamic equilibrium at this temperature and density
