Abstract: | Abstract-the formation of transport barriers under electron cyclotron resonance heating and current drive in the t-10 tokamak is studied. in regimes with off-axis co-eccd and q L <4 at the limiter, a spontaneous transition to improved confinement accompanied by the formation of two electron transport barriers is observed. the improvement resembles an L-H transition. It manifests itself as density growth, a decrease in the Dα emission intensity, and an increase in the central electron and ion temperatures. Two deep wells on the potential profile (the first one at r/a L ≈0.6, where a L is the limiter radius, and the second one near the edge) arise during the transition. the internal barrier is formed when dq/dr~0 with q≈1 in the barrier region. |
