Abstract
The electron temperature and density profiles in the midplane of a spherical tokamak plasma produced by electron cyclotron heating (ECH) in Q-shu University experiment with steady-state spherical tokamak (QUEST) are measured by the helium line intensity ratio method. The measured profiles are compared with those obtained by the Thomson scattering method, and the measured temperatures and densities are found to agree within factors of ∼2 and ∼6, respectively. Taken together with the previous results of comparisons performed in the scrape-off layers of several toroidal devices, the same degree of agreement between the helium line intensity ratio method and other methods is obtained in the ranges of 7–100 eV for temperature and 4 × 1016–1 × 1019 m−3 for density.
期刊介绍：
Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion covers all aspects of the physics of hot, highly ionised plasmas. This includes results of current experimental and theoretical research on all aspects of the physics of high-temperature plasmas and of controlled nuclear fusion, including the basic phenomena in highly-ionised gases in the laboratory, in the ionosphere and in space, in magnetic-confinement and inertial-confinement fusion as well as related diagnostic methods.
Papers with a technological emphasis, for example in such topics as plasma control, fusion technology and diagnostics, are welcomed when the plasma physics is an integral part of the paper or when the technology is unique to plasma applications or new to the field of plasma physics. Papers on dusty plasma physics are welcome when there is a clear relevance to fusion.
