Abstract :
Laser beam accelerated aluminum micropellets were injected into the MT-1M tokamak plasma, and the distribution of characteristic line radiation of aluminum atoms and ions of different charge state was detected. The investigations are focused on the visualization of the pellet cloud, on the bending of the pellet path, and on the striation occurring in the radiation of different charge state along the pellet path in the plasma
