Experimental data on the ion temperature in the T-9 finger-ring tokamak are reported. In the quasisteady stage of the discharge, the ion temperature corresponds well to the value calculated from the Artsimovich equation. There is an anomalous ion heating to high temperature (T/sub i/>T/sub e/) during the initial stage of the plasma formation. This anomalous heating is strongly affected by the initial gas pressure and is accompanied by intense MHD waves, the striking of the limiter by the beam of runaway electrons, and a change in the plasma configuration.
