Abstract
A fast bolometer was used for direct measurements of parallel electron energy flux in the edge of the Texas Experimental Tokamak (TEXT-U) [K . W Gentle, Nucl. Technol. Fusion 1, 479 (1981)]. The fluctuating comp onent of the parallel electron energy flux, combined with a measuremen t of magnetic fluctuations, provides an upper limit to the perpendicul ar electron flux. This magnetically driven energy flux cannot account for the observed energy flux. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
