Abstract

Improvement of global particle confinement is observed in the CASTOR tokamak under the plasma edge polarization [1]. To determine the behaviour of global energy confinement in this regime of CASTOR operation, measurement of thermal plasma energy content (based on plasma diamagnetism) has been realized. It was found that the energy content increases in similar way as the plasma density during the plasma polarization. However, it was also shown that this energy increase is caused more by the increase of ohmic heating input then by an increase of the energy confinement.
