Abstract
Experiments intended to study the dependence of the ion temperature on the plasma current were carried out on the Globus-M spherical tokamak. The ion temperature was measured at a few spatial points with the help of charge exchange spectroscopy and a charge exchange atom analyzer. On the basis of the experimental data, modeling with the use of the ASTRA numerical code was carried out and the thermal diffusivities for the ion plasma component were determined. The calculation results show that the ion behavior is similar to neoclassical.
