Density fluctuation measurements using beam emission spectroscopy on Heliotron J.

چکیده
This paper describes the measurement of the density fluctuation using beam emission spectroscopy in Heliotron J, having the non-symmetrical helical-magnetic-axis configuration. In order to optimize the sightlines, the numerical calculations are carried out to estimate the spatial resolution and the observation location. When a tangential neutral beam is used as diagnostic one, suitable sightlines from the newly installed diagnostic port are selected whose spatial resolution Δρ is less than ± 0.07 over the entire plasma region. Modification of the interference filter and the detection systems enables us to measure the radial profile of the density fluctuation. Each of the three coherent modes due to the fast-ion-driven magnetohydrodynamic instabilities has different radial structure of the density fluctuation.

Application of beam emission spectroscopy to NBI plasmas of Heliotron J.
This paper describes the application of the beam emission spectroscopy (BES) to Heliotron J, having the nonsymmetrical helical-magnetic-axis configuration. The spectral and spatial profile of the beam emission has been estimated by the numerical calculation taking the collisional excitation processes between plasmas (electrons/ions) and beam atoms. Two sets of the sightlines with good spatial r...
متن کاملNew Detection System for Fast Density Measurements Using the Lithium Beam on the COMPASS Tokamak
The lithium beam diagnostic at COMPASS is designed for measurements of the edge plasma density profile and fluctuations and edge plasma current fluctuations. The principle of the diagnostic is detection of light coming from collisionally excited Li atoms — beam emission spectroscopy (BES) and a direct detection of the ionized part of the beam (atomic beam probe — ABP). For slow density measurem...

A 60 keV neutral Lithium beam system was designed and built up for beam emission spectroscopy measurement of edge plasma on KSTAR. The measurement will be the complementary of the heating beam based emission spectroscopy system which was built up in 2012, using the same observation system with different interference filters. The electron density and its fluctuation, thus the density distributio...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Particle Pinch Associated with Turbulence in LHD Heliotron and JT-60U Tokamak Plasmas
Comparative studies were carried out to elucidate the most essential parameter(s) for control of density profiles in LHD heliotron and JT-60U tokamak plasmas. Different collisionality dependence was found between two devices. Change of fluctuation property was observed at different density profile in both devices in plasma core region. In JT-60U, increase of radial correlation length was observ...
