Bell, J. D.

Section I contains background material on tokamaks and the interest in Chi/sub e/. In Sect. II, a description if given of sawtooth phenomena, and the basic technique for this measurement of Chi/sub e/ is explained in a review of previous work on this topic. The analysis scheme used in the current effort is more advanced than earlier ones and is described in detail in Sect. III; Sect. IV presents our results and comparisons with values for Chi/sub e/ from the Oak Ridge power balance analysis. Various sensitivities of the procedure used here are discussed in Sect. V, and Sect. VI lists conclusions and possible extensions of this work.
