Abstract
Results are presented from studies of the time evolution of the ion temperature in the T-10 tokamak in the course of injection of several (up to five) deuterium pellets into a deuterium plasma the electron component of which is heated at the second harmonic of the electron gyrofrequency. It is shown that, at an electron cyclotron heating power of 900 kW, the injection of five pellets is accompanied by an increase in the ion temperature to 1200 keV, which is a record value for T-10. It is noted that energy exchange between the electron and ion components in these experiments is a purely classical, Coulomb process.
