摘要
Results from T-10 experiments in regimes with nonmonotonic plasma current profiles are presented. The possibility of controlling the current profile j(r) by electron-cyclotron current drive is demonstrated experimentally. Nonmonotonic q profiles with the reversed shear are obtained in which the q(min) value varies in a wide range, q(min) = 1-2.3. It is shown that the current profiles with q(min) similar to 2 (in this case, there are two resonant magnetic surfaces q = 2 in the plasma) can cause the onset of MHD instabilities. The possibility of the formation of an internal transport barrier in reversed-shear discharges in the T-10 tokamak is analyzed. In T-10, electron transport is governed by short-wavelength electron turbulence. As a result, there is no clear evidence of the formation of an inner transport barrier in these experiments.
