Abstract
In an efficient ion heating mode recently discovered in the Burnout-V turbulent-heating experiment, the line profiles of emission spectra exhibit three noteworthy features: (1) a marked Doppler broadening (full width at half-maximum ≈10 Å) of the Balmer lines, (2) a "red"/"blue" asymmetry dependent on the geometry of the plasma container, and (3) non-Gaussian line shapes near the central wavelengths.Keywords
