Abstract. The fast potential change at H-mode transition was measured for
the first time by a 500 keV heavy ion beam probe installed on the JFT-2M
tokamak. It is found that in an ordinary sawtooth-triggered L/H-transition,
the fast positive potential change is observed near the separatrix in
coincidence with the fast
D rise and the fast density
change. The potential goes down at the fall of
D. The
structure of the radial electric field about 30 msec after L/H transition
agrees with the previous results determined by the poloidal, toroidal rotation
speed and the pressure gradient.
