Abstract
A 200 keV heavy ion beam probe (HIBP) on the compact helical system heliotron/torsatron uses a newly proposed method in order to control complicated beam trajectories in nonaxisymmetrical devices. As a result, the HIBP has successfully measured potential profiles of the toroidal helical plasma. This article will describe the results of the potential profile measurements, together with the HIBP system and procedures to realize the method.Keywords
