摘要
The letter presents experimental evidence and an analysis of two phenomena arising during carbon pellet ablation - a toroidal trajectory deflection and enhanced localized ablation in the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) current drive regime. A model developed for describing the toroidal deflection of a carbon pellet in a tokamak shows that the trajectory curvature is sensitive to the current density. Photography of the pellet trajectory is used as a diagnostic for the determination of the local current density in an ohmically heated plasma. Directly measured current profiles using pellets are in reasonable agreement with that obtained using the Spitzer conductivity, and current density fluctuations have been observed that are probably associated with magnetic islands. It is shown that in the ECR current drive regime on T-10, energetic electrons probably stimulated by the microwave power are located in a narrow zone (2 cm thickness in the radial direction) with sharp boundaries.
