Localized Tungsten Deposition in Divertor Region in JT-60U
نویسندگان
چکیده
Deposition profiles of tungsten released from the outer divertor were studied in JT-60U. A neutron activation method was used for the first time to accurately measure deposited tungsten. Surface density of tungsten in the thick carbon deposition layer can be measured by this method. Tungsten was mainly deposited on the inner divertor (around inner strike points) and on the outer wing of the dome. Toroidal distribution of the W deposition was significantly localized near the tungsten released position, while other metallic impurities such as Fe, Cr, Ni were distributed more uniformly. These data indicate that inward drift in the divertor region played a significant role in tungsten transport in JT-60U.

Modelling of JT-60U Detached Divertor Plasma using SONIC code
The characteristics of the JT-60U detached divertor plasma in the SONIC simulation are investigated. With increasing mid-plane density, the electron temperature at the divertor decreases and the ion flux to the divertor plate increases. At higher densities, the temperature becomes less than 1 eV. However, rollover of the ion flux at the divertor plate, which is a characteristic of the detachmen...
متن کاملImpurity accumulation in the main plasma and radiation processes in the divetor plasma of JT-60U
Two studies are included: tungsten accumulation in the main plasma and radiation processes of carbon ions in the detached plasma of JT-60U. [Tungsten] It has been found that tungsten accumulation becomes more significant with increasing plasma rotation velocity against the plasma current direction, where negative radial electric field is formed. The accumulation level does not depend on the tun...

Reduction of heat loading appropriate for the plasma facing components (PFCs) such as the divertor and the first wall is crucial for a fusion reactor. Impurity gas seeding is one of techniques to decrease peak heat flux to the divertor both in steady-state and transient phases. Power handling by large radiation power loss has been studied in the ELMy H-mode plasmas on JT-60U with argon (Ar) gas...

Dynamics of ion internal transport barrier (ITB) formation and impurity transport both in the Large Helical Device (LHD) heliotron and JT-60U tokamak are described. Significant differences between heliotron and tokamak plasmas are observed. The location of the ITB moves outward during the ITB formation regardless of the sign of magnetic shear in JT-60U and the ITB becomes more localized in the ...

Comparative studies were carried out to elucidate the most essential parameter(s) for control of density profiles in LHD heliotron and JT-60U tokamak plasmas. Different collisionality dependence was found between two devices. Change of fluctuation property was observed at different density profile in both devices in plasma core region. In JT-60U, increase of radial correlation length was observ...
