4. 1. Inter-Machine Experiments on JT-60U 1-1. Steady-state plasma development(TP-1) In a strong reversed shear plasma, f BS ~70% was maintained for 8 s. 1-2. Hybrid regime development (TP-2) The duration of high beta sustainment with high confinement has been extended with reduction of toroidal field ripple;  N = 2.5 with H H98y2 ~1.1 was maintained for 17.6 s and  N = 2.3 with H H98y2 ~0.9 for 28.6 s. 1-3. Other experiments In the experiments on ITB degradation with ECRF electron heating (TP-3) in weak positive shear plasmas, it was found that the degradation effect depended on the plasma current, less effective at a higher current. In spontaneous toroidal rotation study (TP-6.1), toroidal rotation profile data in EC+LH ITB plasmas have been provided for an IAEA by J. Rice, and change in the toroidal rotation after ripple reduction with ferritic steel inserts has been reported. 2-1. Results on Transport Physics
