Title: Results from a double-sided langmuir probe in T-10, and an extended model of a probe in a streaming magnetized plasma
Abstract: By means of a JANUS-type Langmuir probe operated in the scrape-off layer (SOL) in T-10 the temporal evolution and radial profiles of plasma density, electron temperature, and toroidal asymmetry of saturation currents were measured in dependence on discharge parameters. Of particular importance turned out to be the BT field direction and the radial probe position relative to the active limiter structure (rail and aperture limiter). The interpretation of the results is based on the local SOL structure in terms of connection lengths to the active limiter and special flow effects in T-10, and makes use of a theoretical probe model by Hutchinson. As to the latter model, a refinement concerning its basic principles is presented independently.
