Abstract
The first reliable measurement of ion temperature in the divertor plasma of the Large Helical Device has been done by using an ion sensitive probe. The satisfactory current–voltage characteristics of the ion collector for evaluating the ion temperature were obtained at the outer part of the divertor leg. Furthermore, simultaneous ion and electron temperature measurements were successfully done in this part. The results show that the ion temperature is higher than the electron temperature in the part. There is a possibility that the profiles of the evaluated ion temperature which shows relatively higher than the electron temperature at the outside of divertor leg are qualitatively explained by particle’s orbits around the edge and divertor region.
