Measurements of plasma parameters in the edge region of PLT during ICRF heating experiments have been performed in an attempt to ascertain the relevant processes at work in coupling RF power to a hot, dense plasma and to understand how these processes limit the power handling capability of ICRF antennas. Langmuir douple probe measurements of edge electron temperature and density were made along with a calorimeter probe to measure particle heat flux along field lines. In addition, spectroscopic observations of neutral deuterium (D/sub ..cap alpha../), CIII, and CrI were made at various points around the torus.
