Abstract

Results are presented from the first measurements of the profiles of the HeI 447.1-nm and HeI 492.2-nm neutral helium spectral lines emitted by the plasma of a current sheet formed in the CS-3D experimental device. A theoretical analysis of these profiles is performed with the model microfield method. A comparison of the theoretical and experimental profiles shows that the electron density in the peripheral regions of the current sheets amounts to (1.0–2.0)×1015 cm−3.
