response verified experimentally, seem to confirm that the<br />

target specifications can be achieved.<br />

Liquid lithium experiments<br />

Pellet injection in lithized wall <strong>di</strong>scharges. High density<br />

<strong>di</strong>scharges were obtained through the first successful injections<br />

of D 2<br />

pellets in presence of a significant wall lithization.<br />

Density profiles, for transport analysis, were obtained from the<br />

inversion of the FTU CO 2<br />

scanning interferometer [1.12],<br />

which is a very powerful tool for studying fast evolution of<br />

density profiles and very strong gra<strong>di</strong>ents. Density profiles were<br />

taken every 62.5 μs with a spatial resolution of 1 cm and a line<br />

integrated density resolution Δn¯e/n¯e∼2%. After a prompt<br />

increase in central density, typical of pellet fuelled <strong>di</strong>scharges, a<br />

further peaking is observed following the first pellet, which<br />

suggests the existence of an inward pinch, as seen also in gas<br />

fuelled <strong>di</strong>scharges (figs. 1.22 and 1.23). A fully interpretative<br />

transport analysis of the density profile decay (1st pellet) has<br />

been performed in the region where there are no particle<br />

sources upon completion of pellet ablation (r/a
