Improved reflectometer electron density profile measurements on DIII-D
Details are presented of recent improvements to hardware and analysis code components of the DIII-D density profile reflectometer system. The improvements to the hardware increased the system signal-to-noise ratio and reduced spurious reflections. An improved automated method is developed to accurately determine the zero density plasma start position. With these improvements the uncertainty in ...
متن کاملQuantitative density fluctuation measurements utilizing quadrature reflectometers on DIII-D
Abstract Fixed-frequency reflectometers utilizing quadrature phase detection are employed on DIII-D to study both coherent and turbulent density fluctuations. For coherent fluctuations, the reconstructed phase information successfully identifies MHD/coherent mode activity, e.g. tearing modes, compressional Alfvén eigenmodes, etc. For an m = 3/n = 2 tearing mode, a basic 1D phase screen model is...
متن کاملEX/9-3 Dust Studies in DIII-D and TEXTOR
Studies of naturally occurring and artificially introduced carbon dust are conducted in DIII-D and TEXTOR. In DIII-D, dust does not present operational concerns except immediately after entry vents. Energetic plasma disruptions produce significant amounts of dust. However, dust production by disruptions alone is insufficient to account for the estimated in-vessel dust inventory in DIII-D. Submi...
متن کاملFast Wave Current Drive on Diii - D
The physics of electron heating and current drive with the fast magnetosonic wave has been demonstrated on DIU-D , in reasonable agreement with theoretical modeling. A recently completed upgrade to the fast wave capability should allow f id noninductive current drive in steady state advanced confinement discharges and provide some current density profile control for the Advanced Tokamak Program...
متن کاملFast Ion Loss Diagnostics on DIII-D
Sawteeth and tearing modes affect fast ion confinement, while large fast ion densities can drive collective instabilities, including toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmodes. Losses of energetic alpha particles in ITER will reduce the alpha heating available to reach ignition, and have the potential to cause major damage to the first wall of ITER. Measurements of the internal mode structures of th...
