Erosion of POCO graphite by helium in PISCES-A was measured by carbon spectroscopy for a temperature range from 900{degree}-- 2000{degree}C, ion energies of 30--300 eV, ion fluxes of 1 {minus} 6 {times} 10{sup 22} m{sup {minus}2} s{sup {minus}1} and electro temperatures of 4--22 eV. Yields at low energies were higher than predicted in current models. The role of redeposition is discussed. 15 refs., 4 figs.
