Uc - 427 Ity Analysis of Toroidicity - Induced Alfven Eigenmodes in Tftr Dt Experiments
The toroidicity-induced Alfv6n eigenmodes (TAE) with radially extended structure are found to be stable in the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor Deuterium-Tritium plasmas. A core localized TAE mode is shown to exist near the center of the plasma at small magnetic shear and finite plasma beta, which can be destabilized by energetic alpha particles on TFTR. With additional instability drive from fast m...
متن کاملAlpha-particle fluence in radiobiological experiments
Two methods were proposed for determining alpha-particle fluence for radiobiological experiments. The first involved calculating the probabilities of hitting the target for alpha particles emitted from a source through Monte Carlo simulations, which when multiplied by the activity of the source gave the fluence at the target. The second relied on the number of chemically etched alpha-particle t...
متن کاملAlpha-particle radiobiological experiments using thin CR-39 detectors.
The present paper studied the feasibility of applying comet assay to evaluate the DNA damage in individual HeLa cervix cancer cells after alpha-particle irradiation. We prepared thin CR-39 detectors (<20 microm) as cell-culture substrates, with UV irradiation to shorten the track formation time. After irradiation of the HeLa cells by alpha particles, the tracks on the underside of the CR-39 det...
متن کاملPFC / JA - 92 - 13 Performance Evaluation of the TFTR Gyrotron CTS Diagnostic for Alpha Particles
A large-angle, 60 GHz collective Thomson scattering (CTS) diagnostic system for localized measurements of DT alpha-particle velocity distribution and fraction is being implemented on TFTR. Calculations of expected CTS spectra, signal to noise ratio per receiver channel, and estimated error in determining the temperature and fraction of alpha-particles are being carried out. The experimental spe...
متن کاملMODELING OF a-PARTICLE REDISTRIBUTION BY SAWTEETH IN TFTR USING FPPT CODE
Results from recent DT experiments on TFTR to measure the radial density profiles of fast confined well trapped a-particles using the Pellet Charge exchange (PCX) diagnostic [M. P. Petrov, et.al. Nucl. Fusion, 35 (1995) 14371 indicate that sawtooth oscillations produce a significant broadening of the trapped alpha radial density profiles. Conventional models consistent with measured sawtooth ef...
