Abstract
The diagnostic apparatus used for measurement of plasma parameters in a gasodynamical confinement system with atomic beam injection is descr ibed. The used diagnostics made it possible to find the local energy b alance (along a given field line) of the background plasma and the fas t ion fraction, For the regimes with MHD-stable energy confinement, it was shown that the main energy losses from the plasma bulk are due to the particle flow through the end mirrors.
