Plasma Internal Inductance in the Presence of External Resonant Fields in IR-T1 Tokamak

In this paper we presented experimental investigation of effects of local limiter biasing (V-biasing = +200 v, V-biasing = +320 v) on the plasma parameters as plasma current, loop voltage, poloidal beta, plasma pressure, plasma energy, plasma resistance, plasma temperature, plasma displacement, Shafranov parameter and plasma internal inductance in IR-T1 tokamak. For these purposes, array of magnetic probes and also a diamagnetic loop have been used. The results show that applied biased voltage V-biasing = +200 v causes to decrease of about 40 % in plasma internal inductance. The plasma resistance and the plasma displacement have been decreased by V-biasing = +200 v. The main result of the application of V-biasing = +200 v is flatting the plasma parameters profiles. In other words, the addition of biasing voltage V-biasing = +200 v to plasma could be effective for improving the quality of tokamak plasma discharge by creating the steady state plasma. The plasma current, plasma pressure, plasma energy, plasma temperature and shift parameter have increased after the application of limiter biasing with V-biasing = +320 v but they decrease rapidly.
