By upgrading the high-energetic neutral beam injection system of the gas dynamic trap (GDT) experimental facility of the Budker Institute Novosibirsk the plasma heating could be substantially improved. Now an electron temperature up to 120 eV is attainable compared to 70 eV before. Under the new conditions various heating scenarios and the plasma confinement were studied.

Keywords: gas dynamic trap; plasma heating; plasma confinement; electron temperature
