2 4 O ct 2 00 4 Extension and its characteristics of ECRH plasma in the LHD

چکیده
One of the main objectives of the LHD is to extend the plasma confinement database for helical systems and to demonstrate such extended plasma confinement properties to be sustained in steady state. Among the various plasma parameter regimes, the study of confinement properties in the collisionless regime is of particular importance. Electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) has been extensively used for these confinement studies of the LHD plasma from the initial operation. The system optimizations including the modification of the transmission and antenna system are performed with the special emphasis on the local heating properties. As the result, central electron temperature of more than 10 keV with the electron density of 0.6 × 10 19 m −3 is achieved near the magnetic axis. The electron temperature profile is characterized by a steep gradient similar to those of an internal transport barrier observed in tokamaks and stellarators. 168 GHz ECRH system demonstrated efficient heating at over the density more than 1.0 × 10 20 m −3. CW ECRH system is successfully operated to sustain 756 s discharge.

Collective Thomson Scattering Study Using Gyrotron in LHD
The collective Thomson scattering (CTS) is one of the most promising methods for evaluating the ion velocity distribution function. The study of CTS diagnostic has been started utilizing the gyrotron and antenna/transmission systems installed in LHD for high power local electron heating. One of the high power gyrotrons at 77 GHz is selected as a probing power source and a set of highly focused ...

The physics experiments on the HL-2A tokamak have been focused on confinement improvement, particle and thermal transport, zonal flow and turbulence, filament characteristics, energetic particle induced modes, and plasma fueling efficiency since 2008. ELMy H-mode discharges are achieved using combination of NBI heating with ECRH. The power threshold is found to increase with decrease of density...
متن کاملDPM flow pattern of LHD in underground mines with different ventilation conditions
Diesel-operated Load Haul Dumper (LHD) vehicles are commonly used in underground coal mines. Despite their value as utility vehicles, the main drawback of these vehicles is that they generate diesel particulate matter (DPM), a known carcinogenic agent. In this work, an attempt is made to model DPM flows generated by LHDs in an underground coal mine environment for different DPM flow and intake ...

We discuss results from lattice calculations for a few observables that are sensitive to different length scales in the high temperature phase of QCD and can give insight into its non-perturbative structure. We compare lattice results with perturbative calculations at high temperature obtained for vanishing and non-vanishing quark chemical potential.

The talk presents an ab initio construct of the spacetime structure underlying massive gravitinos. We argue that single spin interpretation of massive gravitino is untenable, and that a spin measurement in the rest frame for an unpolarized ensemble of massive gravitinos, would yield the results 3/2− with probability one half, and 1/2 with probability one half. The latter is distributed uniforml...
