Abstract
Substantial electron heating by energetic-neutral-beam injection has been observed in Oak Ridge tokamak (ORMAK) plasmas. Impurity radiation is enhanced by injection but only to the degree expected for Ohmically heated discharges with the same total power input to electrons, and the electron heat conduction loss is comparable with that in Ohmically heated plasmas. The scaling of average electron temperature with total power input to electrons is approximately the same with or without injection.Keywords
