The results indicate that the central ion temperature T10 follows the one-third power law in the product of central line-averaged density Ne and plasma current Ip in Ohmic discharges and is therefore consistent with the Artsimovich scaling law T10 = K (Ip Bt ne R2)1/3. It is shown that there is an appreciable increase of ion temperature during the operation with both LHW and ICRF and that the increment of ion temperature in those shots is mainly due to the energy transfer via collisions between ions and electrons rather that by direct heating of the ions.展开更多
