Description

For the purpose of the TTMP heating experiment, a new vacuum vessel has been built which is mostly alumina. The energy confinement time and Zsub(eff) are compared with those obtained with the previous stainless steel liner. Using gas injection during the discharge, high density (n approximately = 4 X 1013 e/cm3) and low Z (<2) are obtained. The reproducibility of the discharges, impeded by oxygen release, has been improved by alternate low density and high density shots. (Auth.)
