Measurements of the flux surface shapes in a tokamak with a non-circular cross-section have been made using a tangentially viewing soft X ray pinhole camera. These measurements allowed the derivation of the value of the axial safety factor, q(0), and the shape of the plasma current profile, during equilibrium modification experiments. Two different equilibrium modification techniques were used: neutral beam current drive and plasma current ramp. In the neutral beam current drive experiment, tangential counter-injection was found to modify the equilibrium significantly, broadening the current profile and raising the value of q(0) above unity. In tangential co-injection discharges, q(0) values as low as 0.4 were observed. Reproduction of the measured q(0,t) using a radial current diffusion model strongly suggests there was a non-classical component to the cross-field current diffusion. A plasma current ramp of 2.5 MA/s was also shown to broaden the current profile; however, the value of q(0) was not altered

非円形断面を有するトカマクにおける磁気面形状の測定は、接線方向視野の軟X線ピンホールカメラを用いて行われた。これらの測定により、平衡修正実験中における軸方向セーフティファクターq(0)の値とプラズマ電流分布の形状の導出が可能となった。2つの異なる平衡修正手法が用いられた:中性粒子ビーム電流駆動とプラズマ電流ランプである。中性粒子ビーム電流駆動実験では、接線方向の対向入射が平衡を有意に修正し、電流分布を広げ、q(0)の値を1以上に上昇させることが見出された。接線方向の共入射放電では、q(0)の値が0.4まで低下するのが観測された。測定されたq(0,t)を径方向電流拡散モデルを用いて再現したところ、横断方向電流拡散には非古典的成分が存在することが強く示唆された。2.5 MA/sのプラズマ電流ランプも電流分布を広げることが示されたが、q(0)の値は変化しなかった。
