A. Malaquias et al., EVOLUTION OF THE POLOIDAL MAGNETIC-FIELD PROFILE OF THE ISTTOK PLASMAFOLLOWED BY HEAVY-ION BEAM PROBING, Fusion engineering and design, 34-5, 1997, pp. 671-674
The evolution of the poloidal magnetic field profile during the initia
l current ramp-up in the ISTTOK tokamak plasma has been followed with
a heavy ion beam diagnostic. The experimental results are compared wit
h numerical simulations. The validity of the retrieved poloidal field
profiles is discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
