For the first time, the Thomson scattering system with high temporal and spatial resolution enables us to find the non-rotating temperature flattening region in the torus outboard side in addition to the rotating island during the slowing-down phase. Additionally, the width of the flattening region is 10% normalized by the plasma minor radius. Furthermore, the radial profiles of the pressure degradation during the slowing-down phase are evaluated. At the beginning of the slowing-down phase, the pressure degradation area is located slightly inside the resonant surface. After that, the peak location moves to the core region. Finally, the degradation area peaks at the plasma center.}, title = {Mode Structure of Locked-Mode-Like Instability in LHD and Its Effects on Confinement Degradation}, volume = {16}, year = {2021} }
