Carbon pellets were injected into high-temperature plasmas produced in the Large Helical Device (LHD), a heliotron-type fusion experimental device. Radiation from a high-density plasma formed around the pellet core, the so-called ablation cloud, was observed and its spectrum in the UV--visible wavel...
