In the l=3/m=9 Uragan-3M (U-3M) torsatron a hydrogen plasma is produced and heated by RF fields in the Alfvén range of frequencies (ω≤ωci). Peripheral plasma is investigated using two moveable Langmuir probes. Spatial distributions of plasma parameters, Vf, Te and ne in two operating regimes and in...
