Popis: Experimental results obtained on the Tokamak de Varennes during a series of reproducible ohmic discharges are presented. Profiles of basic plasma parameters are constructed and compared with theoretical predictions. In particular, the measured plasma resistivity agrees with the neoclassical scaling rather than with Spitzer resistivity. The study of electron-density fluctuations indicates a linear dispersion relation with a propagation velocity of 3.0 × 104 cm s−1. Particle transport investigations are initiated, giving experimental diffusion and convection coefficients across the plasma radius for electrons and impurity ions.
