Abstract
The first boronization in a reversed field pinch machine has been carried out and its effects on plasma performance have been studied. From a residual gas analysis, it was found that total and partial pressures were reduced. During the first several tens of discharges, the mean plasma density normalized by a filling pressure became much higher and was nearly constant during a discharge, but these phenomena became weaker shot by shot. Radiated power, plasma resistance, CrI line intensity and high-frequency magnetic oscillations decreased. The ion temperature from Doppler broadening of the CV line changed only slightly, whereas lower temperature from the OV line was found.
