Abstract

First results of the database constituted for the study of the Z dependence of impurity transport have been reported. L and H-mode discharges have been studied. No clear difference is observed between L and H-mode in the transport coefficients in the core and at mid-radius. A dependence of the impurity peaking with Z is observed in the core for both L and H-mode and varies between -0.5 to a maximum of 4 m-1 from C to Ni for the discharges studied. In the region between 0.5 and 0.6, the peaking of impurity profile shows a weaker dependence in Z from roughly a maximum of -0.5 to 0.5 m-1 from C to Ni for the studied discharges. The observation of the pinch reversal from inward to outward for Ni [5] was confirmed following the application of ICRF heating power. This pinch reversal is also observed for C, Ne and Ar but is restricted to a change of transport in the plasma core within r/a less 0.25. The change of peaking following the application of ICRF is dependent on the charge of the impurity and is stronger for Ni than for C.
