The temperature and energy of electrons are important issues when energy and particle fluxes to the divertor are evaluated. To do this, we have analyzed the electron energy distribution function by differentiating the probe current with respect to the probe voltage numerically, where probe current has been measured in the divertor plasma of JT-60U. We have evaluated the electron temperature and the shape of the distribution function when the X point MARFE and the plasma detachment are formed.
