Sweep System Design for a Heavy Ion Beam Probe on MST
نویسنده
چکیده
The sweep system for the HIBP (Heavy Ion Beam Probe) on the Madison Symmetric Torus is described. The two components of the system are the primary sweep optics and secondary collimation plates. Key issues in the sweep system design are the small entrance and exit ports available on MST, the signi cant toroidal beam motion induced by the strong poloidal magnetic eld and the excessive current loading due to plasma and UV. The design accommodates these issues using a crossover sweep plate design in two dimensions for the primary beam as well as two dimensional sweeping on the secondary beam. The primary beam sweep design results in a sweep range of 20 degrees in one direction and 5 degrees in the perpendicular direction. The secondary beam sweep design results in entrance angles to the energy analyzer of < 3 degrees in radial and zero degree in toroidal directions. The procedure for calculating sweep performance including fringe elds, a system for active trajectory control, and initial experiments on plasma and UV loading are also discussed.

Axisymmetric magnetic equilibrium reconstruction is insufficient for describing several effects in the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST). Inclusion of the field error produced by port holes in the close-fitting conducting vacuum chamber enables accurate interpretation of data from several subsystems, in particular, ion trajectories of a heavy ion beam probe and radial displacement and distortion of...

The heavy ion beam probe on the Madison Symmetric Torus is capable of measuring the plasma potential at radial locations from about !=r /a=0.3 to 0.75. Radial potential scans from two energy analyzer detectors have been used to assess measurement accuracy since they should produce identical profiles. The effects of analyzer characteristics, system alignment, sample volume locations and shapes, ...
