Popis: The results from calculations of the anisotropic fast particle distribution function in the Globus-M/M2 spherical tokamaks are presented. The calculations were performed using the NUEBAM code, the reasons for the anisotropy occurrence are discussed (injection geometry, low toroidal magnetic field and plasma current, presence of neutral particles). It is shown that the anisotropy decreases with increasing toroidal magnetic field and plasma current: the density of the slowed down fast ions with energies of E < 4 keV almost doubles and the averaged perpendicular velocity of fast ions increases.
