Abstract

The sawtooth activity in an ohmically heated plasma on the HT-7 tokamak has been investigated experimentally using soft x-ray (SXR) diode arrays, magnetic probes and other diagnostics. Its behaviour and occurrence are correlated closely to the discharge conditions such as the electron density and wall condition have been summarized. Experimental properties of two types of double sawtooth and monster sawtooth activities are also presented and discussed. The set up of the HT-7 tokamak and the main diagnostics available are also briefly described.
