q Measurements during sawtooth oscillations in a low q tokamak
The central safety factor during a sawtooth oscillation in material-limiter tokamak discharges in the TOKAPOLE II poloidal divertor tokamak is measured to be constant at 0.7 during a sawtooth oscillation. This result is identical to that observed earlier in the same device in magnetic-limiter discharges. Thus, the presence of scrape-off plasma beyond the divertor separatrix is not responsible for the absence of total reconnection. 12 refs., 3 figs.
