Radiated power measurement during the thermal quench phase of a density limit disruption

چکیده
Radiated power measurements taken during the thermal quench of a density limit disruption in the DIII-D tokamak @J. L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614 ~2002!# demonstrate that ten times more power is radiated from the main chamber than is deposited into the divertor floor. This contrasts with the standard picture of the thermal quench of disruptions, where energy is lost along open field lines into the divertor. The observed radiation appears to result from a sudden increase in deuterium outgassing and carbon impurity release from the main chamber walls. The impurities and the associated cold front are observed to mix into the plasma core at a rate about 100 times larger than standard ~H-mode! particle diffusion rates. Comparison with other types of disruptions in DIII-D suggests that plasma–main wall interactions may play an important role in the thermal quench of many disruptions. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1583713#

Disruption Control on FTU and ASDEX Upgrade with ECRH
The use of ECRH has been investigated as a promising technique to avoid or postpone disruptions in dedicated experiments in FTU and ASDEX Upgrade. Disruptions have been produced by injecting Mo through laser blow-off (FTU) or by puffing deuterium gas above the Greenwald limit (FTU and ASDEX Upgrade). The toroidal magnetic field is kept fixed and the ECRH launching mirrors are steered before eve...

متن کاملHigh resolution temperature and density profiles during the energy quench of density limit disruptions in Rijnhuizen tokamak project
Measurements of the electron temperature, Te , and density, ne , during the energy quench of a major disruption showed that the onset of Te erosion in the neighborhood of the m/n52/1 O point at the low field side ~LFS! accelerates the well-known m/n51/1 erosion of the core temperature. During this phase Te(r) is only partially flat in the region between the q52 and the q51 surfaces and ne(r) de...

متن کاملMeasurement of total ultrasonic power using thermal expansion and change in buoyancy of an absorbing target.
The Radiation Force Balance (RFB) technique is well established and most widely used for the measurement of total ultrasonic power radiated by ultrasonic transducer. The technique is used as a primary standard for calibration of ultrasonic transducers with relatively fair uncertainty in the low power (below 1 W) regime. In this technique, uncertainty comparatively increases in the range of few ...
