EXC/P4-08 Heat and Momentum Transport of Ion Internal Transport Barrier Plasmas on Large Helical Device
The peaked ion-temperature profile with steep gradient so called ion internal transport barrier (ion ITB) was formed in the neutral beam heated plasmas on the Large Helical Device (LHD) and the high-iontemperature regime of helical plasmas has been significantly extended. The ion thermal diffusivity in the ion ITB plasma decreases down to the neoclassical transport level. The heavy ion beam pro...
متن کاملElectron Loss Cross Sections for a Heavy Ion Beam Probe
Electron loss cross sections of Au and Au2+ by electron and proton impact are calculated by using respectively the Lotz formula and the LOSS and CAPTURE computer codes. The corresponding rate coefficients have also been calculated. Using this information, the signal levels of heavy ion beam probe in the Large Helical Device are estimated. The calculated beam currents at the detector position ar...
متن کاملAnalysis of heavy ion beam probe potential measurement errors in the Madison Symmetric Torus
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, ...
متن کاملHeavy ion beam probe advances from the first installation of the diagnostic on an RFP (invited).
Heavy ion beam probes have been installed on a variety of toroidal devices, but the first and only application on a reversed field pinch is the diagnostic on the Madison Symmetric Torus. Simultaneous measurements of spatially localized equilibrium potential and fluctuations of density and potential, previously inaccessible in the core of the reversed field pinch (RFP), are now attainable. These...
متن کاملProposal of Density and Electrostatic Potential Fluctuation Measurements in the Madison Symmetric Torus with a Heavy Ion Beam Probe
A 200 keV heavy ion beam probe (HIBP) system is being installed on the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) reversed eld pinch (RFP). Measurements of electron density uctuations and electrostatic potential uctuations in MST are proposed here. For the rst time particle transport induced by electrostatic eld uctuations in the core region of MST can be measured through the simultaneous measurement of ele...
