Characterization of Tungsten Sputtering in the JET divertor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tungsten erosion in the outer divertor of the JET ITER like wall was quantified by spectroscopy. Effective sputtering yields of ~10 were measured in L-mode at ~30 eV low recycling divertor conditions and Be was identified as the main species causing the sputtering. The signature of prompt redeposition was observed in the analysis of WI 400.9 nm and WII 364 nm line ratios indicating >50% redeposition fraction. Interand intra-ELM sputtering were compared for an example of 10 Hz ELMs with 13 MW NBI heating, in which intraELM sputtering was found to dominate by a factor of 9. Nitrogen seeding initially increased the tungsten sputtering threefold due to higher extrinsic impurity levels and effectively reduced the tungsten sputtering when the divertor plasma temperature was decreased from 25 eV to 15 eV.

1D kinetic modelling of the JET SOL with tungsten divertor plates
In this work a fully kinetic model of the JET SOL with tungsten divertor plates has been developed. It includes the dynamics of main-ions (D) and electrons, the neutrals (D, C, W) and the impurity particles (C, W). Our simulations show extremely low concentration of W impurity. We identify two reasons which are responsible for this effect: (1) for low temperature divertor plasma the energy of m...
متن کامل"Plasma Surface Interaction Issues of an All-Metal ITER"
We assess key plasma surface interaction issues of an all-metal plasma facing component (PFC) system for ITER, in particular a tungsten divertor surface, and a beryllium or tungsten first wall. Such a system eliminates problems with carbon divertor erosion and T/C codeposition, and for an all-tungsten system would better extrapolate to post-ITER devices. The issues studied are sputtering, trans...
متن کاملR&D on full tungsten divertor and beryllium wall for JET ITER-like wall project
The ITER reference materials have been tested separately in tokamaks, plasma simulators, ion beams and high heat flux test beds. In order to perform a fully integrated material test JET has launched the ITER-like Wall Project with the aim of installing a full metal wall during the next major shutdown. As a result of R&D projects in 2005–2006, bulk tungsten tiles are foreseen at the outer horizo...
متن کاملA study of tungsten migration in the Alcator C-Mod divertor
A toroidally-continuous row of bulk tungsten (W) tiles was installed near the typical location of the outer strike–point in the Alcator C-Mod divertor and was removed for analysis after two campaigns (3151 plasma discharges). External beam (in–air) particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis has been used to observe campaign–integrated Wmigration patterns in the otherwise Mo divertor using ...
متن کاملSurface erosion issues and analysis for dissipative divertors
Erosion/redeposition is examined for the sidewalls of a dissipative divertor using coupled impurity transport, charge exchange, and sputtering codes, applied to plasma solutions for the ITER design. A key issue for this regime is possible runaway self-sputtering, due to the effect of a low boundary density and nearly parallel field geometry on redeposition parameters. Net erosion rates, assumin...
