[en] The feasibility of a hot plasma injector using a divertor based on a magnetic neutral point discharge is studied experimentally. An intense plasma current is induced along a circular magnetic neutral line of the divertor, and the plasma is heated and injected inward to the central region. The plasma diffusing along the magnetic field lines is measured by a time-of-flight method using a pair of electrostatic double probes, and it is shown that the average energy of the diffusing plasma ions is 200 eV and the total amounts of injected particles is 6 x 10¹⁶ particles per shot. The possible use of the divertor injector in a fusion reactor is discussed. (author)
