چکیده

The Zeeman effect has been used for measurement of magnetic fields in low-temperature plasma, but the diagnostic technique is difficult to implement in a high-temperature plasma. This paper describes new instrumentation and methodology for simultaneous measurement of the entire Doppler-broadened left and right circularly polarized Zeeman spectra in high-temperature plasmas. Measurements are made using spectra emitted parallel to the magnetic field by carbon impurities in high-temperature plasma. The Doppler-broadened width is much larger than the magnitude of the Zeeman splitting, thus simultaneous recording of the two circularly polarized Zeeman line profiles is key to accurate measurement of the magnetic field in the ZaP Z-pinch plasma device. Spectral data are collected along multiple chords on both sides of the symmetry axis of the plasma. This enables determination of the location of the current axis of the Z-pinch and of lower-bound estimates of the local magnetic field at specific radial locations in the plasma.

Generalized theory of ion impact broadening in magnetized plasmas and its applications for tokamaks.

A generalized semiclassical theory of ion impact broadening in high-temperature, magnetized plasmas is developed that is free from a shortcoming of the standard semiclassical theories of Stark broadening, which were intrinsically divergent at small impact parameters. The convergence of the present theory is achieved by taking into account, on equal footing, both the "dynamic" splitting of Stark...

A new probe of magnetic fields during high-mass star formation Zeeman splitting of 6.7 GHz methanol masers

Context. The role of magnetic fields during high-mass star formation is a matter of fierce debate, yet only a few direct probes of magnetic field strengths are available. Aims. The magnetic field is detected in a number of massive star-forming regions through polarization observations of 6.7 GHz methanol masers. Although these masers are the most abundant of the maser species occurring during h...

Lithium Polarization Spectroscopy: Making Precision Plasma Current Measurements in the Diii-d National Fusion Facility

Due to several favorable atomic properties (including a simple spectral structure, the existence of a visible resonance line, large excitation cross section, and ease of beam formation), beams of atomic lithium have been used for many years to diagnose various plasma parameters. Using techniques of active (beam-based) spectroscopy, lithium beams can provide localized measurements of plasma dens...
