Electron heating by neutral beam injection in the Oak Ridge Tokamak
Substantial electron heating by energetic neutral beam injection has been observed in Oak Ridge Tokamak (ORMAK) plasmas. Impurity radiation is enhanced by injection but only to the degree expected for ohmically heated discharges with the same total power input to electrons, and the heat conduction loss is not degraded from that with ohmic heating alone. The scaling of average electron temperature with total power input to electrons is approximately the same with and without injection.
