Multichannel microwave interferometer for the levitated dipole experiment.
A four-channel microwave interferometer (center frequency: 60 GHz) has been constructed to measure plasma density profiles in the levitated dipole experiment (LDX). The LDX interferometer has a unique design owing to the unique geometry of LDX. The main design features of the interferometer are: (1) the transmitted beam traverses the plasma entirely in O-mode; (2) the interferometer is a hetero...
متن کاملEnergetic-electron-driven instability in the helically symmetric experiment.
Energetic electrons generated by electron cyclotron resonance heating are observed to drive instabilities in the quasihelically symmetric stellarator device. The coherent, global fluctuations peak in the plasma core and are measured in the frequency range of 20-120 kHz. Mode propagation is in the diamagnetic drift direction of the driving species. When quasihelical symmetry is broken, the mode ...
متن کاملThe Helically - Reduced Wave Equation as a Symmetric - Positive System
Motivated by the partial differential equations of mixed type that arise in the reduction of the Einstein equations by a helical Killing vector field, we consider a boundary value problem for the helically-reduced wave equation with an arbitrary source in 2+1 dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The reduced equation is a second-order partial differential equation which is elliptic inside a disk and...
متن کاملFirst results from the multichannel interferometer system on HSX
Measuring the equilibrium electron density distribution and its response to perturbations provides important information to magnetically confined plasma research. A multichannel interferometer system is now routinely operating on the new quasihelically symmetric stellator ~HSX! to measure the equilibrium profile and electron density dynamics. The interferometer system has nine viewing chords wi...
متن کاملMultichannel phase-shifted interferometer.
A new real-time interferometer based on diffraction phenomena is discussed. It consists of a point-diffraction interferometer fabricated on a transmission grating. The real-time data-analysis capability is achieved by simultaneously introducing a phase shift (piston) on the three separate channels of diffracted interferograms. Mathematical analysis and preliminary observational results are incl...
