Abstract

A diagnostic impulse arc source of a beam of lithium atoms was used for the measurement of electron density profile in front of the lower hybrid grill on the CASTOR tokamak. It was shown that this profile is modified significantly during lower hybrid wave application if the regime with improved particle confinement is achieved.
