In the Rijnhuizen Tokamak Project plasmas, a transient rise of the core electron temperature is observed when hydrogen pellets are injected tangentially to induce fast cooling of the peripheral region. High-resolution Thomson scattering measurements show that the T-e rise is associated with large temperature gradients in the region 1 < q < 2. This region acts as a layer of transiently increased thermal resistivity (transport barrier) when probed by fast heat pulses from modulated electron cyclotron heating.

Abstract
In the Rijnhuizen Tokamak Project plasmas, a transient rise of the core electron temperature is observed when hydrogen pellets are injected tangentially to induce fast cooling of the peripheral region. High-resolution Thomson scattering measurements show that the T-e rise is associated with large temperature gradients in the region 1 < q < 2. This region acts as a layer of transiently increased thermal resistivity (transport barrier) when probed by fast heat pulses from modulated electron cyclotron heating.File in questo prodotto:
