Wall conditioning with impurity pellet injection on TFTR
Solid lithium and boron pellets have been injected into TFTR plasmas to improve plasma performance by coating the graphite inner wall bumper limiter with a small amount of lower Z pellet material, which reduces the influx of carbon from the walls and reduces the edge electron density. This new wall conditioning technique has been applied successfully when continued He conditioning discharges, w...
متن کاملLithium Pellet Injection Experiments
A pellet enhanced performance (PEP) mode, showing significantly reduced core transport, is regularly obtained after the injection of deeply penetrating lithium pellets into Alcator C-Mod discharges. These transient modes, which typically persist about two energy confinement times, are characterized by a steep pressure gradient (4, <a/5) in the inner third of the plasma, indicating the presence ...

متن کاملRF-driven Energetic Tritium Ion Tail Measurements in TFTR Using the Pellet Charge Exchange Diagnostic
Charge exchange interactions of ions with the ablation cloud of an injected lowZ impurity pellet can be used to measure the energy spectrum and radial profile of confined fast ions in a fusion plasma. On TFTR, we use this technique to directly measure energetic alphas from D-T reactions, tritons from D-D reactions, and RFdriven minority tail ions (e.g., H, 3He, T). This paper describes the stat...
متن کاملImpurity Transport Experiments in the Edge Plasma of Alcator C-Mod using Gas Injection Plumes
Understanding impurity and bulk plasma transport in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of tokamak plasmas is critical for the design of future reactors. The development of a system on Alcator C-Mod for inferring impurity transport behaviour parallel and perpendicular to local magnetic field lines from impurity emission patterns (“plumes”) generated by local gas injection will be presented. Gas is injec...
