The ORMAK (Oak Ridge tokamak) experiment gives the first extensive measurement of ion transport in a collisionless plasma. We find a transition from neutral domination to a thermal-conduction limit as the ratio of central electron density to central neutral density varies by an order of magnitude. The results agree with neoclassical predictions of ion thermal transport throughout the whole range.
