Fusion-Related Ionization and Recombination Data for Tungsten Ions in Low to Moderately High Charge States

چکیده
Collisional processes and details of atomic structure of heavy many-electron atoms and ions are not yet understood in a fully satisfying manner. Experimental studies are required for guiding new theoretical approaches. In response to fusion-related needs for collisional and spectroscopic data on tungsten atoms in all charge states, a project has been initiated in which electron-impact and photon-induced ionization as well as photorecombination of W ions are studied. Cross sections and rate coefficients were determined for charge states q ranging from q = 1 to q = 5 for photoionization, for q = 1 up to q = 19 for electron-impact ionization and for q = 18 to q = 21 for electron-ion recombination. An overview, together with a critical assessment of the methods and results is provided.

Dielectronic recombination (DR) is the dominant mode of recombination in magnetically confined fusion plasmas for intermediate to lowcharged ions of W. Complete, final-state resolved partial isonuclear W DR rate coefficient data is required for detailed collisional-radiative modelling for such plasmas in preparation for the upcoming fusion experiment ITER. To realize this requirement, we contin...
متن کاملAbsolute rate coefficients for the recombination of open f - shell tungsten ions
We have carried out direct measurements of the absolute recombination rate coefficients of four charge states of tungsten in the range from W to W in a heavy ion storage ring. We find that the rich atomic fine structure of the open f -shell leads to very high resonant enhancement of the recombination rate at energies below ∼50 eV. Even in the higher energy domain relevant to fusion plasma this ...

Theoretical studies of tungsten ions in plasmas are presented. New calculations of the radiative recombination and photoionization cross-sections, as well as radiative recombination and radiated power loss rate coefficients have been performed for 54 tungsten ions for the range W–W. The data are of importance for fusion investigations at the reactor ITER, as well as devices ASDEX Upgrade and EB...
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...

In the present work, the total cross-section for the ionization of H, He, Ne and Ar atoms by +He2+ ، H+ ، Li3 ions has been calculated. In these calculations, a binary encounter approximation in the form of a two-body process between projectile ions and atomic electrons at the high energy range has been implemented. In order to enter the nuclear role of the target atom, the atomic electron vel...
