Physical results of the T-10 tokamak

The history of the T-10 tokamak and scientific results obtained over the last 15–20 years are reviewed. The following issues are discussed in detail: electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH), the consistency of the electron temperature profiles, the density limit, the electron cyclotron current drive, suppression of sawtooth oscillations, experiments with reversed shear and the search for internal transport barriers, the H-mode and the edge transport barrier, pellet injection into the ECRH plasma, suppression of the higher MHD modes, and the investigation of turbulence.
