Coherence imaging of scrape-off-layer and divertor impurity flows in the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (invited).
A new coherence imaging Doppler spectroscopy diagnostic has been deployed on the UK's Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak for scrape-off-layer and divertor impurity flow measurements. The system has successfully obtained 2D images of C III, C II, and He II line-of-sight flows, in both the lower divertor and main scrape-off-layer. Flow imaging has been obtained at frame rates up to 1 kHz, with flow resol...
متن کاملThe Influence of Filaments on Scrape-Off Layer Transport in MAST
The tokamak scrape-off-layer (SOL) is a primary component of the interface between the core plasma and the material surfaces of the vacuum vessel. Investigations on the Mega-Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) have been undertaken in an effort to characterise the filamentary nature of the SOL and to assess the influence of this intermittency on traditional steady-state approximations of the plasma ...
متن کاملA theoretical interpretation of the main scrape-off layer heat-flux width scaling for tokamak inner-wall limited plasmas
The International Tokamak Physics Activity Topical Group on scrape-off layer and divertor physics has amassed a database comprising hundreds of reciprocating Langmuir probe measurements of the main scrape-off layer heat-flux width λq in inner-wall limited discharges. We have carried out an analysis, based on turbulent transport theory, of the variation of λq with respect to the dimensionless pl...
متن کاملFlow measurements in the Scrape-Off Layer of Alcator C-Mod using Impurity Plumes
Accurate measurements of plasma flows in the scrape-off layer (SOL) are a necessary requirement for understanding the physics of tokamak edge plasmas. A system is being developed on Alcator C-Mod for inferring flows parallel (v‖) and perpendicular (vE×B) to local magnetic field lines from impurity emission patterns (“plumes”) generated by local gas injection. Carbon plumes are generated at vari...
متن کاملDivertor Plasma Physics Experiments on the Diii–d Tokamak
DIVERTOR PLASMA PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS ON THE DIII–D TOKAMAK. In this paper we present an overview of the results and conclusions of our most recent divertor physics and development work. Using an array of new divertor diagnostics we have measured the plasma parameters over the entire divertor volume and gained new insights into several divertor physics issues. We present direct experimental evide...
