The method for measuring the macroscopic properties of the plasma in the T-9 tokamak, which has a noncircular plasma cross section, is described. This method is based on the integral relations derived by Shafranov (Plasma Phys. 13, 757 (1971)) and Zakharov and Shafranov, )Zh. Tekh. Fiz. 43, 225 (1973) (Sov. Phys. Tech. Phys. 18, 151 (1973))) for a plasma with a cross section of arbitrary shape. Experimental results on ..beta../sub 1/, tau/sub E/, and T/sub e/ in the T-9 finger-ring takamak are reported.
