Abstract
For lithium pellet injection into Heliotron E a new design of injector was used. Some innovations in the process of lithium handling and pel let preparation are described. The response of the main plasma paramet ers to Li pellet injection is studied and the increase in electron pre ssure after injection into NBI-heated plasmas is discussed. The ablati on rate of the Li pellet was measured by the Li(I) and Li(II) lines an d compared with the model. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
