Analysis of the ISTTOK plasma density profile evolution in sawtooth discharges by heavy-ion beam probing

This paper describes the temporal evolution of the major internal plasma parameters during a complete sawtooth cycle of the tokamak ISTTOK discharges, with emphasis on the time-resolved determination of the plasma density profile by heavy-ion beam probing.
