Diagnostic criterion for crystallized beams
Small ion crystals in a Paul trap are stable even in the absence of laser cooling. Based on this theoretically and experimentally well–established fact we propose the following diagnostic criterion for establishing the presence of a crystallized beam: Absence of heating following the shut–down of all cooling devices. The validity of the criterion is checked with the help of detailed numerical s...
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...
متن کاملImproved chopping of a lithium beam for plasma edge diagnostic at ASDEX Upgrade.
The lithium beam diagnostic at ASDEX Upgrade routinely delivers electron density profiles in the plasma edge by lithium beam impact excitation spectroscopy. An accurate background subtraction requires a periodically chopped lithium beam. A new, improved chopping system was developed and installed. It involves a voltage modulation for the extractor electrode and the beam deflection plates. The m...
متن کاملA new diagnostic for ASDEX Upgrade edge ion temperatures by lithium-beam charge exchange recombination spectroscopy
The tokamak is the most advanced concept in toroidal magnetic confinement fusion. The H-mode plasma regime, default scenario of the next step experiment ITER, is characterized by an edge transport barrier, which is not yet fully explained by theory. Experimentally measured edge ion temperature profiles will help to test and develop models for these barriers. Transport theory on a basic level is...
متن کاملSupersonic helium beam diagnostic for fluctuation measurements of electron temperature and density at the Tokamak TEXTOR.
A supersonic helium beam diagnostic, based on the line-ratio technique for high resolution electron density and temperature measurements in the plasma edge (r/a > 0.9) was designed, built, and optimised at TEXTOR (Torus Experiment for Technology Oriented Research). The supersonic injection system, based on the Campargue skimmer-nozzle concept, was developed and optimised in order to provide bot...
