In the Madison Symmetric Torus reversed-field pinch, ions are impulsively heated during a sawtooth crash; the ion temperature more than doubles. Heating appears to be nearly isotropic; impurity ion temperature measured perpendicular to the magnetic field(t) is approximately equal to impurity ion temperature parallel to the magnetic field (T) during a sawtooth crash. Ion heating occurs simultaneously throughout the entire plasma volume, with no non-maxwellian distortion of the ion velocity distribution function.
