Abstract:
The radial profile of potential, phi, in the core region of the Large Helical Device (LHD) was measured with a Heavy Ion Beam Probe (HIBP) in wide parameter area, in which radial electric field, E_r, could not be measured in previous experiments. The radial profiles of E_r were estimated from the differentiation of the experimental data of HIBP. These E_r profiles were compared with the calculation result from neoclassical theory, and the theoretical prediction almost coincided with the experimental data of E_r in the core region of LHD plasmas.
