9. “Impurity hole” is established with increase in ion temperature  Profile of carbon impurities becomes extremely hollow with increase in Ti while electron density profile remains flat.  unlike tokamak ITB  Suppression of impurity in the core is enhanced with ion temperature gradient.  Even with carbon pellet injection, carbon is expelled with outward convection. n C (0)/n e (0) << 1 %  contradict prediction by neoclassical transport with negative radial electric field Soft X-ray image

10. High beta = 5.1 % at B = 0.425 T  5 % is maintained for > 100  E High density n e (0) = 1.2  10 21 m -3 1.5 atmospheric pressure at B = 2.5 T  an innovative concept of super dense core reactor ( ignition at T(0) = 6-7 keV) High ion temperature T i = 5.6 keV at n e = 1.6  10 19 m -3 accompanied by impurity hole Long pulse : 0.6 MW for 1 hour n  E T = 5  10 19 m -3 s keV LHD is exploring high-performance net-current free plasmas In 2008, 7,000 plasma discharges were served for cooperative researches.

11. High ion temperature (5.6 keV) is achieved by enhancing ion heating  Ion temperature profile is peaked, where the gradient of ion temperature is enhanced in the core T i (0) = 5.6 keV at n e (0) = 1.6x10 19 m -3 T i (0) > T e (0)  Moderate Internal Transport Barrier  High ion temperature is accompanied with “impurity hole” 11/16  =0.49  =0.59
