Abstract
Polarimetry measurements of the Doppler-shifted $H_\alpha$ emission from a neutral hydrogen beam on the PBX-M tokamak have been employed in a novel technique for obtaining $q(r)$ and magnetic field pitch-angle profiles using the Stark effect. The resulting $q(r)$ profile is very broad and its central value, $q(0)$, is significantly below 1, which has important implications for theoretical models of sawteeth.
