Abstract

The neoclassical impurity transport in ohmically heated plasmas of CDX-U low aspect ratio tokamak was observed. Vacuum ultraviolet and soft x-ray multichannel spectroscopic diagnostics were used to measure intrinsic carbon, oxygen and radiated power radial brightness profiles in plasmas. Results suggested that drift wave turbulence was reduced in CDX-U ohmically heated discharges within at least r/a ≤0.4.
