Abstract
The first observation of a significant rise of core electron temperature in response to edge cooling in a helical plasma has been made on the Large Helical Device [O. Motojima, Phys. Plasmas 6, 1843 (1999)]. When the phenomenon occurs, the electron heat diffusivity in the core region is reduced abruptly without changing local parameters in the region of interest. Therefore the phenomenon can be regarded as a so-called "nonlocal" electron temperature rise observed so far only in many tokamaks.
