Electron temperature and density relaxations during internal disruptions in TFR Tokamak plasmas
Abstract
Several diagnostics (soft X-ray, Thomson scattering, high frequency waves, and vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy) have been used on TFR Tokamak plasmas in order to show that the soft X-ray relaxations are mainly due to electron temperature relaxations, with only small variations of the electron density. Values of central electron temperature variation up to 17% and of central electron density variation of a few per cent or less have been measured.
