Abstract

T-10 experiments with electron internal transport barrier (ITB) formation in discharges with reverse shear q(r) profile are described. Reverse magnetic shear was formed in the central region characterized by r/aL ⩽ 0.3. It is shown that electron thermal conductivity decreases essentially in comparison with the value typical for the L-mode. It is found that degradation of the ITB correlates with development of MHD activity in the internal part of the plasma column.
