Abstract

Oxygen impurity has been reduced to about 1–2% of the electron density by titanium gettering onto the torus wall (~ 1 2 ) and the limiter. Radiation loss and effective ionic charge were decreased by a factor of ~2. As a result of reduced impurity influx, broader electron temperature profiles have been obtained. The energy confinement time and the scaling factor of the maximum electron density ( n ̄ eR/B t ) were improved by a factor of 1.6 with the titanium gettering. Limits on the density increase were investigated in connection with the radiation power. Mechanism limiting the density maximum is discussed.
