This Conference-School succeeds the International and Ukrainian National Conferences and Schools on Plasma Physics, which were organized by National Science Center "Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology". The previous conferences and schools were held in Alushta in 1998, 2000, 2002. About 240 abstracts by Ukrainian and foreign authors submitted to 10th International Conference on Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion have been considered by Conference Program Committee members. All the abstracts have been divided into 8 groups according to the topics of Conference Program. Since the abstracts presented in this volume were prepared in camera-isady form, and the time for the technical editing was very limited, the Editors and the Publishing Office do not take responsibility for the content and style of contributions. Hence, all the questions referring to the context or numerical data should be addressed to the authors directly. We hope that the contributed papers and invited talks, to be given at the Conference, will supply new valuable information about the present status of plasma physics and controlled fusion research. We also hope' that the Conference will promote a further development of plasma physics and fusion as well as the scientific collaboration among different plasma research groups in Ukraine and abroad. The texts of invited lectures and contributed papers will be published after the Conference in journal "Problems of Atomic Science and Technology" Series: Plasma Physics. The papers for publication will be selected on the base of reviewing.

An essential feature of the diverted plasma flow is a strong up-down asymmetry of its distribution, where the predominant traction of the flow always outflows on the ion toroidal drift side [1], This effect was related to the asymmetry of angular distribution of direct (non-diffusive) fast ion loss. In particular, such an explanation agrees with the ion energy spectrum in the plasma, where in typical conditions, with the temperature of the major ion group of T,i < 100 eV, two minor groups of high energy ions, TQ ~ 300 eV and To ~ 1000 eV, are observed [2]. With a sufficiently high RF power injected into the plasma, a spontaneous increase of electron density and temperature, stored energy and some other changes in confined plasma parameters occur, these being treated as a transition to the improved confinement mode [3]. It is shown in the paper presented that this transition is also accompanied by appreciable changes in the value and the degree of vertical asymmetry of plasma divertor flow components outflowing into the spacings between the helical coils. In general, these changes pass over two time phases, "fast" and "slow" ones. At the fast phase, which lasts for several ms, a decrease of the divertor flow is always observed, thus confirming an improvement of plasma confinement at this phase. The fast phase is interrupted by a sharp rise of the divertor flow and by a rise of its up-down asymmetry. At the same time, a decrease of high energy ion content in the confinement volume and an increase of fast ion flux in the divertor flow on the ion toroidal drift side occur. The data having been obtained confirm the existence of improved confinement mode in the U-3M torsatron and allow one to estimate the quality of suprathermal ion confinement and the contribution of these ions to the formation of divertor flow vertical asymmetry.

In the H-mode- rype transition the ergodic layer surrounding the core plasma and the edge rotational transform become important in LHD. In outwardly shifted configuration (RaX=4.00m) having an m/n=l/l rational surface at the ergodic layer an H-mode-like transition was obtained with rapid density rise and appearance of ELM-like H-alpha bursts, when the neutral beam input power was decreased from 8 to 5MW. A density window of 4-8xl0l3cm 3 existed for the H- mode-like transition. The ELM-like H-alpha bursts can be drived by a pressure gradient at the 1/1 position. In the ITB-type discharge, on the other hand, a peaking of densities and toroidal rotation play an important role in addition to a necessary ion heating power. For the purpose Ne and Ar discharges were adopted to increase the ion heating power per ion and to perform the density peaking after Ne and Ar glow discharge cleanings. High ion temperatures up to lOkeV were obtained from ArXVII Doppler broadening measurement with a large enhancement of toroidal rotation (~40km/s).
