ECE and ECH application for investigation of plasma self-organization at T-10 tokamak

A behaviour of the high energy electrons appointed by their ECE simultaneously on two first harmonics are used for the electron distribution function analysis. Experiments were fulfilled in Ohmic regime and with on-axis ECH. The explored spectrum of emission from the extreme column periphery comes into existence after a relaxation of the primary flow of electrons with energy more than 1 MeV on the plasma waves. Maximum energy of the generated electrons does not vary during all discharge time also as the spectrum shape of its emission. The form of spectrum does not depend on electron temperature and density but its character width is directly proportional to the value of magnetic field. The appointed connection of the dynamical features between the peripheral high energy electrons and the periodical kinetic instability in the central plasma area (mode m/n=1/1) confirms an existence of the wave transport from the center to the plasma edge. The set of experimental data corresponds to the theory of the stationary electron distribution function formation by the potential plasma waves which apparently are the main mechanism of plasma self-organization in tokamak.
