Measurements of the radial profile of magnetic field in the Gas-Dynamic Trap using a motional Stark effect diagnostic
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have implemented a spectral motional Stark effect diagnostic for spatially localized measurements of magnetic field on the Gas-Dynamic Trap ~GDT! magnetic mirror device. A 7 A, 40 keV diagnostic neutral hydrogen beam was focused to a current density of 0.25 A/cm in the measurement volume, allowing achievement of a radial resolution of 4.5 cm by viewing the beam at 45° with a well-defined light collection chord. The entire Stark spectrum was recorded by a spectrometer with a charge-coupled device detector. Analysis of the splitting of the components of the Stark spectrum directly results in a measurement of local uBu. When operated with deuterium heating neutral beam injection into a hydrogen target plasma, the GDT axial magnetic field is strongly perturbed by plasma diamagnetic effects. Thus, measurement of the radial profile of the perturbed magnetic field, combined with equilibrium modeling, will yield an estimate of the plasma beta. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1527260#

Note: Multi-point measurement of |B| in the gas-dynamic trap with a spectral motional Stark effect diagnostic.
An upgraded spectral motional Stark effect diagnostic has been installed on the gas-dynamic trap (GDT) experiment to enable spatially resolved measurement of |B|. A new low-noise charge-coupled device detector, combined with enhancements of the diagnostic neutral beam, allows single-shot profile measurements. Previously only single-point motional Stark effect measurements were possible, and det...

Recent advances in imaging techniques have allowed the extension of the standard polarimetric 1D motional Stark effect (MSE) diagnostic to 2D imaging of the internal magnetic field of fusion devices [J. Howard, Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 50, 125003 (2008)]. This development is met with the challenge of identifying and extracting the new information, which can then be used to increase the ac...

The motional Stark effect with laser-induced fluorescence MSE-LIF diagnostic is presently under development as a new technique for measuring magnetic field pitch angle and magnitude in plasmas in a wide range of conditions. The technique is based on the observation of LIF from the set of H-alpha transitions in a diagnostic hydrogen neutral beam. As the beam passes at a high velocity through a b...

متن کاملOptical coherence-based techniques for motional Stark effect measurements of magnetic field pitch angle
The motional Stark effect measurement of magnetic field pitch angle in tokamaks is a mature and powerful technique for estimating plasma current density in tokamaks. However, its range of applicability is limited by the requirement that σ andπ manifolds are spectrally sufficiently well separated (high magnetic fields, high beam energies) to ensure adequate net polarization for a successful meas...
